The location of the cottage was perfect for us, one block from a coffee shop, a short walk to the beach and cliff walk, and a longer (but not too long) walk into town for dinner at one of many wonderful restaurants. This cottage is situated in a cluster of other cottages, which all face out toward a garden. When we were there in early June, it was filled with pink roses. It is worth saying that although the cottage is indeed secluded insofar as it is on a quiet street and set back from the road, it is only a few feet from the next cottage. You would need to lower the shades for visual privacy, and you'd be likely to run into your neighbors (though the other cottages seemed unoccupied while we were there). We enjoyed the sweet little deck adjacent to the cottage for reading. The linoleum flooring with very few rugs left us feeling chilly in June, but probably feels just fine in July and August. Overall, a serviceable spot. We will try somewhere different next time.
