Summary: The cottage is the perfect spot for some quality solo time - I used it for a writing retreat and it was ideal. I spent a week by the fire writing, did a puzzle, did some painting, made a lot of tea, and went on lots of walks (Islands in the Sea is a great hike!). The nights were cool but I was toasty - fantastic bed and heater when the fireplace was off. It would be nice to have a couple bits of instruction written down on how to turn the fireplace on (host provided via message) and how to work the heated bathroom floor; also, it is useful to know ahead of time that there is no freezer as part of the fridge. As others have noted, there are a lot of stairs - the first part without hand rails. However it didn't bother me, and being up high surrounds you with trees. I would definitely return!
