decent stay with SOME issues
low temperature cash payment
I found some things were not ideal. The cottage temperature was quite low even with the heating on full blast. i THINK the insulation needs improvement. The beds lacked comfort. I also did not receive a response from the hotel until my arrival day. Payment for the hot tub had to be in cash.

Peaceful Cottage Getaway!
clean cottage detailed attention peaceful atmosphere
The cottage was very clean upon arrival. I noticed the attention to detail. The location allowed day trips to nearby attractions. A local corner shop was only a short walk away. This made getting necessities easy. I loved the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. It created a relaxed stay.
The hotel's hot tub was available only for limited hours and required an extra cash payment, it was quite inconvenient.
