We took a self guided walking tour of 7 Fairy Tale cottages and this was one of the best. It's a bit of a climb up the hilly streets but well worth it. The great thing about this house is that it can be seen very well. A few of the others were obscured by vegetation and in one case construction fencing. Still a great way to spend an hour on a beautiful day in a magical place.
