Wonderful

The cottages are very comfortable and clean, but are tightly packed on the lot, so you are right on top of the next one and my have a very obstructed view. The noise insulation is also not perfect, so you may hear your neighbor. The service is great and they are kept very clean.
This is a very nice stand alone unit that is an easy walk to town and some local trails. The unit is well laid out with pleny of plates and utensils for use in the kitchenette.
We enjoyed our stay. It was quiet, clean. Had everything we needed. Walking distance to restaurants & activities.
The room was very quiet & cosy.
Would highly recommend staying at 10 Cottages

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort
Franz Josef is small so everything is close except the glacier.
We loved the self contained cottage which was roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was the best of our travels having a proper vanity with a big drawer for toilet bags etc. Would certainly recommend.
Reception was pleasant and communication was clear. The units were simple, but more than adequate. The location was convenient to restaurants and activities. A
Cottage masks the true nature of this property. Its a small portacabin. Sure it's got sliding patio doors and a bathroom but it's still a portacabic. As a result its hard to control the temperature. It feels damp even in March and the bathroom, even after only one night and two showers smelled damp. Also the WiFi is poor to non- existant.
