Tracy

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
Disliked: Amenities
We stayed at this cottage in late December 2025/early January 2026. The owners are attentive and the place is clean and quiet. That said, we found it small for two people for an extended stay and lacking in amenities that seem important to a stay at a cottage, i.e. kitchen facilities. Also, do not expect a view of the countryside. There are likely better places to stay for equivalent cost.
Stayed 14 nights in Dec 2025
