The cottage is small but in a great location with lots of parking on the street or on the drive around the corner (although our spot was taken one evening on return, which if it had been the street cleaning day the next morning, could have been tricky). Very local to shops and other amenities, a great base for exploring!
The bedrooms are attached (the lower bedroom through the first one), which I expected as had read about in the reviews. However, the 3 steps leading down are very steep which if your children are small or you have poor mobility would be difficult as they have no hand rail.
The place has no central heating or aircon, also noted in other reviews, not a huge issue for us in February and the heater in the main room warms the place very quickly, although the back bedroom felt a little damp when cold.
Lots of towels and the beds were super comfortable, with lovely clean sheets! Having an on-site laundry is super useful too.
If you are planning on cooking, there are not lots of pots and pans, so check first! There are enough for simple meals.
The bathroom needs a bit of re-furb, the shower screen is not attached in 1 corner and the shower is very low, so if you are tall, you will need to bend! There is a separate shower room in the back bedroom but we didn’t use it in case it made the room more damp.
The window in the first bedroom also doesn’t appear to open and you are over looked in the bedroom and bathroom.
You can hear street noise as the house is pre-fab (not something that we have much of in the UK), but it didn’t bother us.
The only thing I felt was missing was a clothes airer, as if you have stuff you don’t want to put in the dryer, I think it could dry super quick on an airer, but slowly in the bathroom!
Evan was very responsive and also messaged to check if we needed anything else mid-stay which was very thoughtful.
The floor felt a bit grubby and we found a clump of long dark hair on the floor in the little bathroom, given that we are all pale, it wasn’t ours!
