Although there was an issue with the electronic door lock, our host Karen went over and above to get us settled in. The cottage is tastefully decorated, has all mod cons, super comfy bed and is spotlessly clean, very centrally located and easy to find.Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in Cooktown.
