Beautiful atmosphere

We loved the feel of the room as soon as we stepped inside and enjoyed our stay immensely. The only minor issues would be lack of privacy while in the spa and the room gets rather hot if you light the fire which made the room quite stuffy for sleeping. Overall though, a beautiful cottage
