Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort

It was an amazing experience. As it was the starting of summer, my cottage was a little cold at night. But I believe it’s very normal; just I was not prepared. Definitely gonna recommend this place to my FnF.

We arrived after a long day and were turned away due to the power being turned off. No one was at the office - we had to shout around for 20 mins before someone helped us and then we were told we couldn’t stay unless we payed cash.
