We never met Lauren, only David, who readily accepted our last minute booking and was welcoming and friendly. The cottage had more of the feel of a hut. The bed is only accessible by climbing a ladder then crawling on all fours into a confined space. This didn't bother me so much - and I actually found the bed very comfortable - but my partner found it claustrophobic and unsettling, and didn't get a good night's sleep as a result. He was also taken aback after finding a frog in the bathroom sink. The poor wifi signal meant we only had internet access about a quarter of the time. This was pretty frustrating for us since, given there was no cellular coverage either, it meant we couldn't do any more planning of the next stage of our trip. We also didn't have any hot water either, which may have possibly been related to the lack of electricity at the main house due to a dispute with the electricity supplier. We weren't really taken in by the surrounds which seemed unkempt and poorly tended. I admire the effort David (and I'm assuming Lauren) have put into building the hut, but it wasn't quite there yet from our point of view, especially given the price we paid. A bit of gardening, blinds on the windows, reliable amenities etc and it could have the potential to be a nice place to reconnect with the natural environment.
