As you enter the pedestrian gate in the white picket fence at 59 Challis Street, Newport, you can not miss the beautiful gardens and an inviting front porch. This is an excellent spot to sit and watch the world go by.
As the front door is opened, you see the polished floors stretching from the entry to the back of the cottage. Large comfy beds fill the two front bedrooms with another single bedroom towards the back of the house. The living area is spacious - a well equipped kitchen, a large oval dining table and lounge room with a fire box, soft chairs and large flat screen TV. There are plenty of little personal touches from the host to not only make you feel welcome but highlight the character of this elegant cottage.
There is a small laundry space off the dining area; always a handy space. It was great to have a separate toilet and bathroom. The bathroom has been tastefully renovated to include a large walk-in shower. The shower head is up quite high but it gives a wide spray with a consistent flow of water.
Outside the back sliding doors, you will find another private outdoor space which has a large table and chairs. There are plants, an old bicycle and twinkling fairy lights to decorate this space. This is a good spot for an afternoon coffee while you read a magazine or a place to have a quiet glass of wine later at night.
This cottage is great space to stay with everything that you could need or want. We really loved our stay and know others will too.
