Summary: The cottage is very charming and has a warm,cozy feeling. It is not fancy but nicely decorated. We enjoyed the deck where we could relax outside and where we had many meals.The location is excellent, only steps from the beach. In terms of the cookware, it would be advisable for the owners to purchase new pans.all the other cookware was fine. In summary, my son and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage and thought it a great place.
