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.
