The cottage and surroundings felt like you were at a resort, not in the middle of the city. Cute little deck to have your morning coffee on. We had everything we needed in a rental. However, the decor and room overall were a bit dated, and the bed was too soft for us. The location was very convenient with cafes, restaurants and a grocery within walking distance. Staff were very nice, and check-in was easy.

Nice room. I enjoyed the attached garden space. A nice setup. Easy parking. Nice big bed. Short walk to a good shopping centre with a great cafe (and another one), plus decent supermarket, multiple restaurants, fast food, pub and a first class butchers with deli. The room was mostly very quiet and comfortable - some (small) noise from people moving in the nextdoor room, probably through the shared floor. Also had some "boom boom" music noise on Saturday night - unsure if that was from next door or a nearby flat. It was _way_ quieter outside than by our bed. I did go to sleep eventually, and slept well - for multiple nights. Would consider again!
