We enjoyed the location and the privacy of the cottage. The hosts let us bring our dogs with no additional fees which was great. It was one of the most cost effective options and I believe the cost was equal to the value of our experience. However, I will say that the cottage could use some maintenance and TLC. There was no hand soap in the bathroom and no garbage bag in the trash can. The refrigerator was kitchen was very sparse - I usually expect condiments and salt and pepper at the very least. Aside from that, it seems like some of the renovations were done by the hosts themselves, or perhaps by a family friend or very cheap service. Some of the structure seems like it may not be up to code. There was a large heavy piece of wood resting haphazardly against a wall which could definitely injure a dog or small child if it fell over.
Overall, we enjoyed the location and our stay, and the hosts seem gracious enough, but I do think that this airbnb has some room for improvement.
