We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was warm, comfortable and well equipped. The owner of the property was very welcoming and provided essential food and drink items on our arrival We saw the woodpecker and many other species of birds every day on the feeding stage.The grounds were extensive with many trees and plants and a private garden especially for the cottage.
