Tops:

Downs:
- water pressure especially under the shower needs a lot of nerves.
- cottage gets cold easily - even with almost 20 degrees outside during the day. However firewood is provided as well as two eletric heater.
- house lays directly on a street. Not much traffic though if cars or trucks are passing you feel and hear it in the house.
- you will get a detailed message from Rosemary how to handle things around the cottage e.g. rubbish to take back with you or arrange something the the neighbor; to clean cottage yourself or the hint to the low water pressure - all not super big things but better to detail all the specs in the overview description of the cottage before booking.
