About this property

Cozy Cottage in Historic Lewes Delaware

This small cottage is perfect for two adults, a great romantic getaway. The Cottage is not good for tall people - you need to watch your head on the stairs and on the top of the door between the kitchen and the main room. Upstairs is one queen bed, and a small bathroom, downstairs is the main room, small kitchen, and bathroom. The Cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is very charming with its own outdoor eating terrace. The owner's house is also on the property. The cottage is not suitable for children or animals, it is compact and has a small refrigerator. It is an easy walk, 6 blocks, into the historic town of Lewes, and there are plenty of great and varied restaurants nearby. The beach is a five minute car ride or an 18 minute walk. TV and Wi-Fi are provided.
The Cottage is on King's Highway so there is some noise from the road - a white noise sleep machine is provided.

The locaction for this adorable cottage was perfect. It's an easy walk to the shops & restaurants in Lewes. It is stocked with everything you need & the owner provided plenty of information on the beaches and the surrounding area. The only drawback were the stairs up to the bedroom. We both banged our heads going up the stairs on the slanted ceiling.

Amazing location! Within walking distance of lots of good restaurants, the museums and the bike trail. Beautiful, peaceful garden in the yard. The stairs up to the bedroom loft are narrow with a low ceiling so may be difficult for those who have trouble walking or need more room.
