Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted by Heather, who was friendly. She showed us around and took us to our cottage, which was private and homey. She offered up some suggestions about where to eat and answered any questions we had. There were a few private cottages around us and everyone shares the decks/outdoor areas but everyone was respectful of the other guests and I wouldn't have known anyone else was there if I didn't see them. Access to the main kitchen is yours, if your little kitchenette is not enough, which was nice. There is coffee provided in the main kitchen if you'd like, also a nice touch.

The place is old, which is to be expected given the age of the main Victorian house but it wasn't an issue and the cottage was clean with access to a peaceful English-style-meets-zen garden area. There was also a secure side gate entrance, which was more convenient for the garden cottage's location.

We only stayed for one night but it was a nice place to come back to after a day on the soccer fields. We didn't mingle with the other guests since our stay was so short but it is a good place to have either privacy or interaction with others, whichever you prefer.
