Disliked: Cleanliness
Not as advertised
The photos of the property were apparently staged with rented furnishings. The actual furniture was shabby, the bathroom floor dirty, the carpets dirty, the lights had no ceiling fixtures. As a “bach” for a lower price and with honest representation it would have been acceptable, but as a rental for top dollar and misrepresented it was disappointing. We never looked forward to returning to the cottage after a day of exploring the beautiful area. On the positive side, the beds were comfortable and the area restaurants were good. Renter beware.

Great cottage
Cottage was a really good size in a quiet street close to main highway and tourist attractions. Garden was great for our two small dogs to run around. We'd happily have stayed longer if we'd had the time
