It was very unique and a beautiful place. It was not a clean as i would have liked inside and out. This place would be amazing if it was cleaned up and better maintained.

The hospitality of this host was far higher than a5 star rating provides. This cottage has everything you need, it's one of the cleanest places I've stayed in; beautiful and charming. I look forward to staying there again.
The Hideaway Cottage is a charmingly furnished, comfortable, quiet lodging. It has many amenities and is close to restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend it and will stay there again when I next visit the area.

Adorable Cottage
The atmosphere was like a step back in time. The courtyard and other buildings were beautiful. The interior of the cottage was well appointed and plenty of room for my self and two teen boys. The cottage was clean, well stocked coffee bar, and a few snacks were provided. Excited to try out the two other properties on site.

This little stone cottage was part of the fun of the trip. The courtyard between the 3 cottages was our favorite part and we stayed out there most of the time. The decor was nicer than the pictures show and everything, including the beds, was good quality. It was convenient to everything so there was road noise, but that was my only complaint. So cute!
