We really enjoyed staying in this old thatch roof cottage. We had been wondering about the use of peat for burning and while it took a little while, we were persistent and finally got a roaring peat fire going! There was a notebook at the cottage that tells about the restoration process that was very interesting. The cottage is simple, but we had everything we needed and it was the experience we were looking for. We only used the kitchen for making coffee and keeping our drinks cold, but it seemed to have everything there for preparing meals as well.
