It is a lovely cottage ideally situated for a nature break. The host have organised everything to make our stay as enjoyable as possible: well maintained, clean house, full guide of activities and places to eat, and of course the hot tub was fantastic! The only downside is a little lack of privacy, as the cottage is right in-between the hosts garde n and their car park so there are some people walking around we had to close the curtains if we wanted to get changed or just feel more private
