Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Rustic, quiet, huge bathroom, beautiful view, great location, and the laundry facilities were welcome and easy to use. Hosts were not present, but responded helpfully and quickly to emails.
Negative: Not a negative, but meals need to be carefully planned. There are very few choices for eating out or buying groceries anywhere nearby. The kitchen in the cottage is very minimal. We appreciated the use of the BBQ. We were grateful for our own additional picnic supplies and bringing food that mostly didn't need to be cooked. Again... not a complaint, just a heads-up.

Positive: Big kithchen - rrasonably outfitred
Negative: Arrived - all closed and very hot. There are nets which are old and partially effective. But no AC so no chpice but to open The owner could have opened on anticipation of arrival. Fan only partial solution. It was a sunny day and pm windows fet all tge sumln. Bathroom very narrow. Basic and a bit old. The high mark maybe is for big unit (forgot name), but definitely not fof the hut. We have stayed at similarly priced unuts which were much better
