When I booked the cottage it said I would have one with a garden view. This was not true. It's a great location on a bus line, and I got around quite easily without a car.

Perfectly matches pictures. Very clean and comfortable. Good area for good and easy food. Not in a busy area, it’s cutely tucked away. Only downside was the TV was very small and slow, but if you’re not planning on watching TV much, it’s a great spot!
