Wayfarer Cottage - Three Bedroom House, Sleeps 5

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"Everything we needed was provided. We did bump our heads a couple of times on the low door frames and had to take care upstairs, because of the different levels of steps. We purchased a weekly parking permit to park in the public parking area by the rec center. When we needed to load/unload it was challenging at times to navigate the car down the narrow street, especially with some parked cars sticking further out. Overall though a lovely cottage."

Wren Cottage - Two Bedroom House, Sleeps 4

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (1)
"House was absolutely ideal for us -- small but perfectly proportioned and walking distance to everything. Parking directly outside the house was a challenge most days but we could always find a space a short distance down the road. House is cozy, clean and very comfortable. Highly recommended -- we would definitely stay there again! One caution -- the stairs are extremely steep and would likely be a challlenge for anyone with mobility issues."
