The cottage suited our needs. Beautiful view. From the pictures online, it looked like we could walk a few feet to the water on the other side of the fence and the property be level, so we brought along our inflatable kayak. It wasn't the case and would have been too difficult to inflate and try to bring down to the water. The kayaks that were there to rent. seemed too difficult for us to maneuver. Didn't notice anyone else from main house using the jacuzzi. Would have been nice to use if we could have communicated with those staying there. The 2 women, during part of our stay, seemed friendly and probably wouldn't have minded. To be specific, the kitchen cookware could have been more upto date and not sooo worn. Have gotten used cookware that was in very good shape from second hand/Goodwill stores that didn't cost very much. The TV was very disappointing, even though the guy that came and tried to help us out, found that the cable wasn't plugged in. The remote wasn't working right- batteries needed to be replaced. The windows needed to be cleaned. The 'auto ignite' on the stove didn't work right. We felt that these things should have been either updated , cleaned or checked out between renters.
