The Little Valley Cottage is really a magical spot. It's hard to believe you are so close to the city once you are in the cottage, surrounded by lush forest and constant bird song. It was such a pleasure to enjoy the quiet and the nature, and watch the birds.
Although there were only two of us, it would be a great spot for family; there's plenty of room. I noticed that a previous reviewer said a car would be required here, but we didn't have a car and found it very easy to hop on the bus to the grocery store or right into the center of town.
Our hosts were really gracious. They respected our privacy but were very happy to chat about the cottage, the (interesting!) history of the property, and the local bird life.
I'm so glad that we had the chance to stay in the cottage, and would be happy to stay again.
