The cottage was extremely clean and quiet, which is perfect for me, as I am a light sleeper. It is perfect for a short stay like ours, and you aren't interested in cooking a lot of your meals because there is no stove, just a microwave. There is also no dresser for your clothes, but there is a small shelf, which you could store clothing. All in all, it served our purposes well, and it was a nice place to stay.
