The cottage was beautiful and clean; but was a difficult stay for our family of 4.
We found the space to be too small for our needs; I guess I should have paid more attention to the listing. The actual living space is very small making it difficult for us to hang out with our kids at night. We like to make dinners at night and found the space too small for our needs. While the kitchen had some supplies, we found it didn’t have what we needed to really make meals. This again, is probably due to space limitations. There wasn’t a dishwasher (which I didn’t notice in the listing) and no counter space for meal prep.
There were only 4 small bath towels provided and they seemed old. I wish there would have been more.
The parking space for our use next to the cottage was very small..we had a Chevy Malibu rental car and my husband was somehow able to fit into the spot. I could not park, so, I was glad he was there to park for me when I went out.
There was a lot of allyway noise at nighttime that woke our family up. There is a parking spot next to the cottage that I think a neighbor parks in—they got home late at night and would back into the spot creating a lot of noise (talking, car wheels squeaking, lights shining). There were also motion sensor lights at the neighbors house that would go off and shine right into the bedrooms. We also experienced people walking and talking in the ally at nighttime. This created an environment that was difficult at night for us.
Overall, the cottage was great, it just didn’t work for our family.
