Sep 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cottage, perfect location for Cardrona skiing action Lovely cottage, really enjoyed the fire on the cold winter evenings. Proximity to the Cardrona Hotal was a bonus! Only issue we had was internet connection was very slow when we arrived, but that was sorted relatively quickly. Would benefit from having increased internet plan given there is no option for other TV viewing, everything has to be streamed. Overall we'd happily come back for another visit. ##### Molly S.
