Loved that the cottages were very private and would be lovely to sit out on the verandah in spring/summer

Communication was great. The cottage is a spacious studio with adjacent parking. There was an awesome shower, comfortable bed, and a full kitchen. The cottages are tidy and comfortable and conveniently situated in St Albans.

Nice room. I enjoyed the attached garden space. A nice setup. Easy parking. Nice big bed. Short walk to a good shopping centre with a great cafe (and another one), plus decent supermarket, multiple restaurants, fast food, pub and a first class butchers with deli.
The room was mostly very quiet and comfortable - some (small) noise from people moving in the nextdoor room, probably through the shared floor. Also had some "boom boom" music noise on Saturday night - unsure if that was from next door or a nearby flat. It was _way_ quieter outside than by our bed. I did go to sleep eventually, and slept well - for multiple nights.
Would consider again!

Cute cosy cottage, clean and well presented.
Mattress was uncomfortable for our preference, bit too soft and springy.
