The cottage itself was nicely renovated and well-equipped, with large comfortable beds, air conditioning etc. Not recommended for anyone even slightly infirm as there is no landing at the top of the steep stairs and the bathroom is downstairs. The parking too is not for the faint-hearted, very tight and uneven!
Our biggest problem was the fact that the advert and photos gave the impression that the cottage is stand alone in a quiet location - it is anything but. It is actually joined to the owner's property and the outdoor patio area is only a few feet from his front door. That would not have been a problem, but for the fact that he spent 5 of the 7 days we stayed using loud power tools, morning, afternoon and evening, to renovate a boat on adjoining land. He was often accompanied by friends, who joined in the drinking and hammering.This rendered the outdoor space virtually unusable for dining and relaxing for most of the week. The fact that he had electric cables strewn all over the cottage steps and the cellar kitchen area, supposed to be included in the rental, also made for a health and safety nightmare. For at least 3 of the days his builders, working on a new project behind the cottage, started at 7am with more power tools and hammering. After we complained to the managing agents about the noise, he carried on with the work, even making what looked like a derisory joke about us to his friend. He showed a shameful and wanton disregard for his paying guests!
