This was a very good choice of a cottage for our week near Edzel. Very comfortable, very clean, well equipped. One minor issue was addressed immediately. Nice gardenn, large parking area, 2 living rooms and large, comfortable sofas. No traffic noise, but not really within walking distance from Edzel for evening dining
