The "cottage" was not a cottage at all. The accommodations are located in the basement of the owner's private home and the "walk to the village" is approximately 2 miles away. That being said, it was very new, clean, quiet and safe. Great place for a weekend get-a-way but not long term as kitchen consists only of refrigerator, micro & coffee maker - no sink- so that any dishes used must be washed in the bathroom sink and are not to be used in the micro.
