    “Very comfortable.”

    Small - fine for a couple - but provided everything we needed for our stay. Heating at the time of year we were there was perfectly fine - only really needed for an hour or two at night and warmed the place quickly. Good for those who came for a relaxing stay. Good value for what we paid for the week we were there.
