The only downside was the road you had to drive down to gain access to the cottage. The road was full of potholes and ruts and loose gravel which meant a low speed was neccessary to avoid any damage to your car anybody with a sports car or load riding car beware it is not suitable the driveway road to the cottage was fine once you got of the country track. Very enjoyable short break.
