Positive: This little gem does it's name proud. Everything fits perfect that spell cottage, the outside, interior, even the cutllery!! Our host were super friendly and provided very good information about our stay and the city. Breakfast was ready every morning, a good start to our day. Free street parking and walking distance to the city centre, just far enough away from the business of town.
Summary: Designer stay.

Positive: Steve was our host. He was polite ,had a warm personality and very helpful as to what attractions to see and food outlets restaurants etc to be found locally. The cottage was within walking distance to the city centre, and was quite a quiet location.The continental breakfast was just fine for our needs. Steve even set breakfast out in our cottage for our early start the next day.
Negative: Nothing to really complain about. Perhaps a heater in the bathroom for those super cold mornings that we encountered.
Summary: A peaceful well placed cottage away from the traffic but close to eateries and the city centre.

Positive: Quiet location. Close enough to downtown to walk. Nice property to look at. Comfortable room. Decent coffee and lovely breakfast.
Negative: Curious design interaction between shower cubicle and toilet. The toilet bowl is squeezed into the far corner between wall and shower cubicle. In the shower cubicle the shower head is located so you can only really use about half the cubicle. That space would be sooo much more comfortable giving the toilet bowl a little more room. Not a show-stopper, not by a long shot, just a funny little 'inefficiency'.
Summary: Comfortable room, close to downtown, good value. I will use again.

Positive: The property is nice just like its name, with a small well designed front garden and side entrance. Breakfast was quite good with healthy food and good choices of a continental variety. Friendly host and guests for nice chat at meal time. Close to bus routes and easier for those that do not drive.
Negative: Had to leave before the breakfast time for a flight, and would appreciate a bit packaged food to take with me. I did ask for/was given a yogurt that I did not use the day before. Would appreciate it as a regular offer like in other places I visited in the past.
Summary: Good all in all.
