I stayed for a little over a week and it was just like advertised. Everything was clean, and directions given to find the cottage were great. The cottage was located close to everything I needed and the patio was great for morning coffees! Once I arrived I never heard from the host - a touch base upon arrival or once throughout the stay would have been a nice touch.

This is a beautiful cottage! Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The owner left a nice welcoming note with some scone treats upon our arrival. The bed was very comfortable but a little high up off the floor. The only thing was that the shower had a high tub to step over and the sprayer was up very high too which could make it difficult if you have mobility issues. The outside patio was nice and quiet and facing a lovely green space. We would definitely rent this property again in future.

My adult son and I had a wonderful stay at Geraldine's clean, modern and relaxing suite. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was very well-equipped with good quality small appliances, knives, cookwear, glasswear and dishes as well as supplies. Geraldine made us feel quite welcome and like special guests. The patio and view out over the gardens and forest were lovely, and the neighbourhood was safe and quiet. If we come back to this area, we will definitely stay here again!
