We found the cottage and the garden charming, and everything was clean, and the fridge full of treats (which we didn't try but it was nice to have the option). However, the bed was quite uncomfortable, and the cottage peaceful in general but noisy at night because some animals were hanging out on the roof and then a rooster sang songs in the morning. I'd recommend sleeping with earplugs, and if you have a sensitive back/neck, this may not be the bed for you. I think that if we had more time and got to explore the garden and the trails, the experience would be better. Stephen was kind and gave us some good suggestions about local cafes and hiking.
