I loved this cottage! I brought my crafts and my dog and had a great time. My two concerns centered around my age (69), and physical abilities. The wooden staircase is beautiful but difficult when carrying items upstairs. I saw it in the picture, so I was aware of possible difficulty getting up and back from the cute loft bedroom. My Boston Terrier wouldn’t go up the fairly steep open-ended stairs, so I had to carry her 23 lb keister up and down. Not easy, not a pretty sight. The only other concern I had was that the toilet was a low rider…. I would suggest higher toilet seats (or some grab bars to help hoist the less mobile, like me). Otherwise, it was a wonderful three days crafting and relaxing and beach combing of course. Had great Chinese take out and cooked the rest of the time. It had all the necessary pots, pans, and utensils. I will definitely return to this beautiful cottage.
