The cottage and grounds were absolutely out of this world we loved sitting just looking over towards the mountains and sea, the only suggestion I would say is maybe provide robes for the hot tub especially for the colder month’s. And a blind for in the main bedroom en-suite I know it’s in the middle of nowhere but when other family members are in the hot tub they can see straight into the bathroom. But none of these things detract from the amazing place this is and there is definitely a revit in the planning for next year.
