The cottage feels okay. Comfortable bed, and not a badly stocked kitchen. Yet, we were not entirely happy with the stay. While the location is not bad (admittedly a 15-minute climb from the ocean, but in return a beautiful view and less noise), it's also not perfect. I feel they should mention in the ad, they have a seasonal problem with mould and humidity.
The biggest problem for us in particular was the dampness. The cottage only has AC in one of the rooms. If you don't keep the windows open non-stop, the air circulation is terrible. The few things we had locked in the sofa drawer and on the floor, unfortunately, ended up in the bin through the mould. I know that people in the two cottages next to us had a similar experience. Also, the AC needs cleaning because it had a rather unpleasant smell.
A dehumidifier, more ventilation or a different type of heating would have helped too.
Overall, I think this rating would have been different during another period, such as the summer.
