The cottage is lovely, comfy and very clean. It's in a quiet cul-de-sac location, you can't hear any noise from the streets, so it's peaceful. The only thing a bit stressful is parking. It's on the steep slope and to try to park within the designed spot or reverse if two cars parked there already is a difficult task. If you don't have a car the cottage is perfect for a holiday break (a train station is just around the corner from the cottage).
