We liked that the cottage was cosy and comfortable at the same time. The beds were comfy with pillows and towels made out of egyptian cotton. The two bathrooms were quite handy too, a small one upstairs with a shower and a bigger one downstairs with a bathtub. We travelled with two children (4 and 6 years old) and they really enjoyed the toys that they found there, and the numerous books, including some of their beloved Dr. Seuss volumes. The cottage is not detached, it is rather a wing of a much bigger house, which is inhabited, although we did not hear any noise throughout our weekend stay. The location is really peaceful and we really liked the relatively isolated location of the cottage (you get there through a ~1 mile of dirt road). The cottage overall is not huge but it worked perfectly fine for the four of us, also considering we spent most of the days out. Logs are provided that could be used in a woodburner. We didn't but I suspect it might be quite nice on colder days. We dined once in the local pub - The Black Robin - a little on the pricey side but food and beers, and atmosphere, were really good.

There isn't much space outside to chill out, apart from a bench just outside the entrance and the parking lot a little further away. There is a big field on the other side of the house although I suspect this belongs to the owners. I don't think this is a negative (it wasn't for us) but worth considering if outside space is something one is after. The property is managed by 'Bloomstays' and they sent us numerous automatic-looking messages, which was helpful although it also felt a little detached. The only question we asked - where to leave the keys on checkout (we asked through Booking) wasn't answered. Again, this is not a big deal at all but I thought I should mention.
