Cottage is on a residential street but quiet. The host lives next door. Lovely hospitality while at the same time giving you your privacy and space. Torah, their dog greeted us upon arrival :) she's a lovely calm dog (a golden retriever). My 2 kids loved her. Liz (the host) offered to keep the dog away if we wanted but we didn't mind. The cottage is a pretty small space but the 2 bedrooms are lovely and a good size.
