2-night Getaway
I chose Hawsepiper Cottage for a 2-night getaway with my mother, and it was perfect. The unit is compact and cozy, and very clean. The kitchen is extremely well-equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the linens and towels are high-quality and plentiful. We appreciated the easy access to the waterfront. Communication with the host was very good and there was lots of clear, easy-to-find information in the unit about how things worked. There is one change from the posted photos: there is no longer a table in the kitchen, it has been replaced with a built-in bar and stools, so you sit facing the wall. In addition, if you look at the property on Streetview there is just a grassy open space next to it. That is now a large, 2-storey home in the process of being finished. The properties are very close together and both bedrooms have windows facing this new build. We were a little taken aback to have workmen directly outside the bedroom windows at 7am. This did not create a problem, it was just surprising.Unfortunately, the weather was very wet so we weren’t able to make use of the outdoor seating or enjoy the lovely and well-kept property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay none-the-less, and would return.
