My husband and I spent six days at the cottage. We chose it mostly for the location, which allowed us to visit Rhode-Island (Newport, Providence, the coast) and a bit of Connecticut (Mystic). Upon arrival, we discovered that the cottage was indeed very close to Route 1 and to services, while being in a green and quiet residential area.
The cottage is rustic, as described and as can be seen from the pictures. However, we found it comfortable. The kitchen is equiped to prepare simple meals; the kitchenware could be updated, but we appreciated having basic supplies such as oil and spices (the package of coffee was an especially nice touch). We also appreciated the washer and dryer. The wifi worked very well.
Finally, we appreciated Andrew's quick responses and his offer to bring us over an item we were missing. Thanks, Andrew!
