Beautiful cottage in nature. It's nice to wander through the woods and across the fields behind the cottage. Saw forest owls and deer there; very beautiful, quiet, and secluded.

everything was good and clean. The surroundings were beautiful, all we could wish for. and the agents very helpful. however there were several things that should have been correct for the money. e.g. the room for the shower should have closed, instead people outside door could see in! no lock at all.

Great cottage. The shower was wonderfully warm. Kitchen had all the essentials. Only the kitchen table chairs were not comfortable for long meals. The living room was cozy. The beds are great.
