Not an "entire cottage" but rather one wing of an L-shaped house. Nonetheless a very good stay, lots of sunlight inside, especially in the afternoon, and lots of outdoor space. The beautiful front yard is technically shared but I think the neighbors only use it to get to the laundry room; in practice I had privacy there. The back patio is completely private. As far as noise, the people in the other part of house are quiet yet their speech and doings can be heard clearly.
The interior is nicely laid out but very snug. The wi-fi was spotty and just barely adequate for working. The kitchen was well-equipped and had good coffee and costly grass-fed half & half. The bed was comfortable. The heating wasn't quite up to par in a chilly February. Overall, I'd stay again if the Wifi were improved and the listing made more accurate.
