The cottage is comfortably furnished and convenient to town. It was the middle of winer so we were looking for a warm, well heated place for a few days. While there is a log fire in the living room we did not want to have it on all day but the portable heaters were not enough to warm the house. There is a heat pump but it is in the hallway so does not really warm the bedrooms or the living area. In summer this would be a very comfortable space but really could benefit from a heat pump in the living room and bedrooms. The contact with the host was good and the kitchen well stocked. There is a sunny garden and a deck although the furniture there was a little tired.
