Garden Cottage rich in love and charm
Weeping willows swept beautifully in view
A beautiful garden out back our cottage with a story of friendship as this beautiful garden is the original owner’s . Out of kindness and compassion the new owners allow them to still grow their garden bringing such an essence of how compassion

We loved the location

The bed was memory foam. Not my preference but still comfortable. Plenty of food options very nearby. You also have a full kitchen so you can pick up something at the grocery store to prepare your self.

Weather was cool. so we turned off the A/C. Refrigerator was off when we arrived, and freezer compartment full of water, but we called Marina Bay and a man came and emptied the water. We turned the refrigerator thermostat back on. Room was clean and comfortable. Location was convenient for sightseeing in New London, Groton, and Mystic.
