Right off the bat I will say this cute little cottage is beautifully decorated. The living room was cozy and comfortable. There were games that we thoroughly enjoyed. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. The bedrooms are small, so watch those shins on the bed corners! The fenced in yard was a really nice bonus. The host Jeremy was wonderful. Any issues I had that were in his power, he was on top of to resolve immediately!
With that being said, I have a hard time rating it 4 stars but that is what this little cottage deserves, and here's why...
The traffic is OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD. This is a main road with a light on the corner...so revving engines at all hours. SO.VERY.LOUD. The front bedroom takes the brunt of that noise. Apparently on Friday nights there is street racing around the corner. Not the hosts fault but sadly this knocked it down a star. There was not much sleeping going on the 4 nights we were there. In the back bedroom, the ceiling fan made a loud banging/knocking noise when on and it was to warm to sleep with it off. It smelled of cigarette smoke and the air circulation helped . The bed was extremely uncomfortable.
I didn't bring any of these things to the host because, let's be honest, there's nothing he could have done about the traffic, fan or mattress.
I would rate this cottage as a 3.5 at most. I gave it a 4 because there is no half star and the host was terrific. I really wish I could give it a higher rating because the place overall was lovely.
