We've just returned from two months with Boots and family, and we could hardly have enjoyed it more. Our hosts Mike and Heather showed us exceptional hospitality in their care and attentiveness, always friendly but respectful of space, and incredibly generous with our children in particular. The cottage is compact but comfortable, with everything functional and full of character and set in a magical garden. Our children (6 yr old and nearly 2 yr old) loved the garden with its swings and crystals and especially the menagerie of animals, which our eldest help feed and care for every day. The toddler initially took a few tumbles around the uneven grounds but didn't take long before she was able to negotiate the whole yard confidently. We all loved the outdoor bath!
In terms of location, we loved being so close to Atwater Village with its excellent strip of cafes, thrift store, boutiques, library, record store, restaurants and bars. A lovely pocket park within a stone's throw, and several other great places to eat and drink tucked nearby, and I understand why Atwater is being hailed as cooler than Silver Lake.
We highly recommend staying here. Do yourself a favour.
