Summary: The cottage was in the perfect location for our visit to Yorktown. Once there we really didn't have to drive much. It is easy to walk down to the water, to the battlefield and the American Revolution Museum. We walked to restaurants and shops. The trolley that does a loop has a stop directly across from the cottage. The cottage had nice places to sit outside, plenty of room in the living area. The kitchen is small but has everything you need. Handicapped Accessibility: I use a wheelchair or rollator. I will give feedback based on the accessibility of this cottage because I always look for hints in the reviews. The town is probably the most accessible one that I have been in! Each trolley has steps that folds down to become a lift. No problems, no hassle, just friendly service! The shops were easy to get into and out of, also. The cottage has a lot of space in the living areas and the bedroom. The only drawbacks were the bathroom doors were too narrow to get the rollator or wheelchair into. They aren't big bathrooms so to make it work I just held onto the counters. The driveway is gravel. Very hard to get around on in a wheelchair or scooter. We did discover a back gate that lead to the street with just a few feet of gravel to get across. Overall: Loved the place and would like to go back!
