We enjoyed every minute of our weeklong stay! The cottage was comfortable and its location perfect - close to everything, walking distance from shops and some great restaurants, yet incredibly quiet and private. (It's actually located behind a garage that's behind the house where Lydia and her family live so you can't even see the main house until you go outside.) Lydia and her family were incredibly hospitable and they seem to have thought of everything one might possibly need during their stay, from extra linens to ear swabs and board games. The kitchen was well stocked and Lydia left snacks for us and even a bottle of wine! She was also gracious and accommodating when, at the last minute, a second adult son decided to join us for a few days. While I can't vouch for how comfortable the sofa and queen size air mattress were, the cottage itself was comfortable even for a family of 4 adults (admittedly, only because 2 of said adults were willing to "rough it" on the sofa and air mattress for the one or two nights they stayed.) The washer and dryer were a great bonus, as was the super fast wifi and Apple TV. Parking was never an issue, even over the holiday weekend. My wife loved the lavender theme (candles, soaps, etc.) and we both loved being able sleep with the doors and windows open every night (the neighborhood is so quiet and we felt very safe). In all, we highly recommend Lydia's cottage and look forward to returning!
