We would rent it again without hesitation. One point of note for other renters, Cavan Hill Cottage is part of a working farm. The cottage is in very close proximity to other utility farm buildings and the owners home. This didn't bother us, in fact, we loved the tranquil country setting, comfortable cottage, and I personally felt right at home, as I grew up on a farm. You may want to mention this in your listing for those looking for a bit more distance between their rental and working farm conditions.
