The cottage was lovely and peaceful and in a great location on the island. It is a very old structure and with that it has its quirks. I do think some additional information on the mechanics of house itself would have been helpful for us and good for future renters, specifically on the use of water of conserving water if needed. During our stay we ran out of water which was quite a surprise, it was fixed promptly. I think overall some of the basic and bonus amenities on the rental listing were a bit disappointing and made us feel we did not get our true moneys worth on rental due to time wasted fixing things or not being able to use cause it was broken. Only one burner worked on the stove range. Washing machine had rotten sitting water when we went to use it, had to clean it before being able to use ourselves. Almost empty dish soap and shampoo/conditioner. Kayak equipment was in shambles had to fix paddle and seat to be able to use. Overall house was littered in spider webs. The additional company of spiders really didn't bother us but can't say the same for future renters. Also there was a dead bird in garage. With that said, we did love the charm of the Bach and Richard was helpful and responsive when water stopped working.
