Away from it all...really?
Review Submitted: June 1, 2009

The pictures of this unit do not provide an accurate view. It is MUCH smaller than it appears. It says it sleeps 4, but that really doesn't apply to 4 adults. The twin beds in the loft, which itself is hardly large enough for a grown person, are smaller than normal twin mattresses. They're definitely meant for children or shorter than average adults. As well, it would be difficult for four adults to be very comfortable in the unit all at once.
The cottage is very clean and well-kept, and the owners are very nice and helpful, but our cell phones didn't work and the wireless internet signal was somewhat weak. It was definitely not a secluded getaway due to the unit being on the same property as the owner's house with the neighbors only several steps in the other direction.
All in all, not a bad place, but not at all what we were expecting.
Owner's Response: I'm sorry to hear that you were not fully happy with the accommodations. The listing does note that the cottage is only 500 sq ft and it is on an estate property. The loft bedroom with the twin mattresses are of normal "twin" size as far as I know. I believe the pictures posted very accurately display the cottage and it's view of the water. I certainly didn't intend to mislead you, or anyone, in what we offer.
As for cell phone usage it all depends on your provider. Some services get better coverage then others. It may be helpful to check with your provider on your coverage for this area.
I'm not sure why the internet was weak for you. I've used the wireless internet myself out there, and have had tenants running "Yahoo Music" from their computers with external speakers.
Again, my apologies for your disappointment. I will take your comments into consideration for future tenants.
