Room was quite small (no closet) but very clean and comfortable. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker were appreciated. Lovely grounds as well. We stayed two nights and would have appreciated clean towels the second night, but overall a good place to stay and convenient for what we needed.

These are comfortable and quaint cottages set in a residential area with great lanscaping. Its like being in your own little cottage. It is relatively newly renovated and it is clean! We love it here and would definitely stay again when visiting family. Its a gem!

Convenient easy place to stay. No frills but clean. Sometimes a little too heavy on the cleaning products. Staff couldn’t be nicer.

Loved the mini fridge that included a freezer. Only downside is the office is irregularly staffed. Bed was comfy and bathroom had a walk in shower rather than a tub, which was a major plus for me.
