We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. Communication with our host, Paula, was great. She was always quick to reply provided helpful information. The cottage is very close to restaurants and shops so we could walk to these amenities. The cottage was very clean and tidy upon our arrival. We could stargaze from the back deck and we loved the fleece blankets that were provided for this purpose. Overall, a great place to stay.

Room is ok for the price and location. Really strong chemical odor in the room. Must be newly renovated. Makes one feel quite uncomfortably for the smell. Maybe should wait for a couple weeks to ease the odor before renting out.
