The cottage was clean, lovely and ample in size, true to the description. Paul was away but kept in touch during my stay via email to make sure everything was okay, which I greatly appreciated. Biggest challenge was that because Paul and his family were away it was dark coming in at night as the cottage is behind the house and there was no light until you reached the cottage. That combined with limited cell phone service was a little unnerving since I was alone, but other than that everything was fine.
