This cottage was very comfortable and had lovely antique furniture and lamps. And sitting in the private backyard was nice and quiet. The location was a little farther from the Old Town than I thought. There were a few minor maintenance issues that needed attention, but overall a very nice cottage.

A historical home with a lot of character. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds comfortable. The only negative was the overgrown landscaping.
