Warmest greetings Neish,
Yes i have and can share some feedback about the standard cottages. There 6 Standard Cottages that are newly refurbished with a private and en-suite well-furnished bedroom and lovely bathroom. Each room also enjoys beautiful views of the surrounding forest vegetation from the wide glass windows and doors as well as from the spacious veranda over-looking the rain-forest
All the cottages (luxury and standard) are a stone throw away from the reception and the official Chimpanzee tracking/habituation point. The meals options are the same for all the guests and free wi-fi is available for all guests as well.
Please check the Uganda Lodges website for pictures and more information
