The location was convenient I found it a short walk to the town center. The breakfast included several choices. The staff gave us directions for local hikes and provided details about the cottage history.
My room felt small. I noticed spider webs in the corners of the room. The bathroom also felt cramped I think this would be an issue for tall guests.

Acceptable Stay

The breakfast had locally sourced produce. Homemade honey and preserves were served at breakfast. The location has parking. It is a short walk to the town centre.
The room was very small. The cottage decor seemed tired. The towels were not changed for four days. A road view was noisy.
