The Cottages Hotel has a lovely setting tucked back in the trees. The rooms are private and very clean as are the entire property grounds. Location is minutes away in any direction from any destination. Hotel staff was friendly and welcoming as is their check-in/lobby area offering a variety of beverages and snacks. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend The Cottages Hotel to anyone needing to stay in the area.
