    Designer cottage has a great location chet and steve were very professional and great hosts, we stayed for 4 nights very comfortable and warm. The breakfast was continental with fruit, yogurt, a choice of cereals, toast and preserves with tea or coffee. There is also an area for making your own drinks with a fridge and microwave. They gave us plenty of information where to eat and the best place to park in the city.
