I loved the little cottages. It was great to have a kitchen to prepare meals. All to often it's not the case or something doesn't work right if there is a kitchen. We have a lot of food allergies and can almost never go out to eat, so a kitchen is a necessities .I also loved a wonderful area to just relax after all our walking all day.The recliners were so great.
