We stayed in Cottage #1, it was comfortable ,super clean, everything we needed was there and worked, so that was much appreciated. But the real bonus staying here is getting to meet Barrie, the host - he was friendly, welcoming and great to talk to. If you are in the area, this is the place to stay.
