The cottage and garden are charming, and the place is wonderfully quiet. Shannon is a most effective and most welcoming host. The neighborhood is lovely.

Prior to Shannon's cottage I tried two hotels and two bedrooms in other houses, and this cottage is definitely by far the best place.

I think Shannon's cottage is, simply put, an excellent deal for anyone coming to the area as a short term research scholar like myself. Basically, you have everything included, which means no waste of time whence all time saved for research. I recommend it highly.
