Bev and Grant’s Ballard Backyard Cottage is absolutely stunning and exactly as described (if not better!). The cottage is modern, clean, well presented and decorated to a high standard, feeling very homely. There are full amenities provided and a comprehensive information pack about the cottage and the area.
Ballard is a very vibrant but chilled place and we enjoyed spending one of our evenings exploring the local area. Downtown Ballard is about 10 mins walk away and has plenty of bars, restaurants and local shops. Getting into Seattle itself is a breeze on the number 40 bus that departs literally round the corner from the cottage.
It was lovely meeting Bev and it felt like nothing was too much trouble. We felt like we had privacy and our own space even though the cottage is in their backyard. We always like to meet our hosts where possible and Bev made us feel really welcome and comfortable. We’ll be back for sure!
