Once we booked, we learned that the host wouldn't be meeting us at the property, but this is certainly to be expected with a cottage versus a B&B, and wasn't a problem for us. The place itself was spacious, fully equipped, and relaxing. The location was stupendous : the view was panoramic, encompassing the mountains, the lake, and the farmland. Waking up to the sounds of the sheep and neighbourhood donkey was delightful, and the walk down through the fields to the lake was magical.
