This cottage was adorable and in a great location downtown. However, it wasn’t as clean as it should’ve been. All flat surfaces were dusty/dirty. AC vents were mildewed. They did send maintenance to clean vents.

Freeman’s Cottage

This was an amazing find! Not only was the cottage adorable and historic, it came with a sweet little enclosed patio that we could enjoy along with our dog. There was a dedicated parking space for us too! It was quiet and less touristy on Warren Square as well.

Rustic cottage with all expected amenities'. Great location with restaurants and tourist sites within walkable distance. Just used my car one day to go to the beach, otherwise car was left in the driveway. Communication with property management team was excellent. All communication was prior to check-in. No issues during stay.

Work conference/family vacation

Freeman’s cottage was perfect for my wife, our son, our dog, and myself for three nights. Convenient walk to shops on Broughton and quick access via car to events for work downtown. I would caution against adults with mobility issues accessing the loft for sleeping, that could be dangerous. Overall, a neat and comfortable experience with a lot of history built in to the space. Well done for a short stay.
