"I upgraded myself because I had points with Expedia so I did go for a cottage this time and it was excellent other than not having any Internet access because the router was down, but there was a nearby kitchen to cook which I could get Wi-Fi but not during the night on I typically like to watch my show and fall asleep. Other than that it was very clean reception. D was so kind and accommodating. I would definitely stay there again."
