It's so rare to find such a gem of a property, but this sweet little cottage really fits that description. Literally everything was perfect about our stay. The cottage itself sits in a very quiet, pretty neighborhood just outside Bristol, and offers lovely short walks down to the town bike path or the water. The cottage sit's just behind the main house, and the listing photos really don't do it justice at all. It is quite charming, with lots of natural light, a perfect mix of a handy kitchen with a stylish sitting/sleeping area. Though Sharon met us personally when we first arrived, from then on we really enjoyed the sense of privacy and quiet that is a constant with this property, sitting just behind the main house.
The cottage was absolutely spotless when we checked in, and all furniture, linens, appliances and decorations appear new as if they were just placed there. The thoughtful touches were amazing, from a handy umbrella, to a flashlight by the door, filtered water in the fridge, ground coffee, tea bags, a basket of snack items and our own welcome tin of cookies. We found lots of brochures and menus for local attractions. The wifi and TV worked perfectly on the first try. And the cottage even has a tiny back patio with table and chairs, that makes you feel as if you're off in a distant woods somewhere.
Thank you to Sharon and John for literally thinking of anything a traveller might want to feel welcomed and at home.
