Location was excellent. Away from the hustle of Queen street but easy walking or short driving distance. The house was well decorated and very clean. The hosts were willing and able to answer any questions we had. We like to cook and the kitchen was well accommodated. Bbq on the deck was good. We would stay here again.

Micheal was a very welcoming host! The place was actually even more lovely than the pictures. It was so easy to feel relaxed there. Every detail was well provided for--from the kitchen amenities right down to make up remover pads in the bathroom. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Would highly recommend!

Lovely cottage and great host

Our family spent a great weekend at the Shakespeare Cottage, which was comfortable, well equipped and well located for our touring and wine tasting in the area. Michael was a wonderful host and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay.
