The cottage was so cute and we had a great short stay there. I loved discovering all the little historical touches and memorabilia. It had everything we needed and our hosts were so easy to communicate with. :)

Everything about our stay was easy. From making the booking last minute, to communicating with the host, to relaxing and enjoying this cute cottage. We loved all the antiques and special touches that made staying here unique. The kitchen and bathroom are modern and provide you with everything you need. If staying in the area again, we’ll definitely rebook. Highly recommend

Just what we needed
6 / 10Average·Apr 2024
Well equipped with everything you will need but you have to buy all consumables and I had to get some cleaning products. Any basics that are there, are what have been left by previous guests.
Bed is super comfortable with great linen but the couch/sofa is super uncomfortable.
House is on a busy intersection so be prepared for road noise.
Secure back garden area which was good for my dog but both back and front need work/tidying up. Not appealing spaces outside and there is no railing around the deck (small kids would be a worry) and there are nails sticking up from some of the wooden boards.
Host was responsive and friendly in communication but with some TLC in the garden and a more comfortable and practical sofa, this place would be worth the money asked.
