The cottage was little but was a good fit for 4 of us. It was an older cottage, was very nicely decorated and the pillows were awesome. The only thing that needs fixing was trying to find it in the dark(there was no lights on the pathway to get to the cottage and the tub had a very slow drain. We enjoyed our stay. The host was great she responded quickly to all my questions.
