Very welcoming couple who own the house with a single guest suite. Quiet, comfortable bed, overall pleasant experience
The house was cozy and spotlessly clean, and the gardens around the house were gorgeous. Our hosts were so personable and attentive. The breakfasts were very tasty, and the presentation made us feel so special. The only thing that potential guests should know is that the staircase to the guest suite is very narrow and a bit steep. The elderly should know this before booking.

Quiet location, comfortable and attractive accommodation, delightful and welcoming hosts, delicious breakfast.
Rachelle and Kevin could not have been more hospitable. My dietary needs are a little complicated but Rachelle went out of her way to meet them. Our room was neat, clean and cozy and there was a nice big walk in closet. It is within walking distance to downtown. The garden is beautiful and the house is very tastefully decorated. We definitely would love to visit again.
My granddaughter and I stayed at the delightful Hawthorne cottage for one night. The hostess and her family were so welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was outstanding and our room perfectly appointed. I highly recommend it.
My adult daughter and I had a lovely 2 night stay at Hathaways Cottage. The room was beautifully appointed and comfortable. The breakfasts were delightful, freshly prepared each morning. Rachelle, Kevin, Olivia and Nyah were friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. We loved the proximity to the Avon Theatre, walking to and from there each night to see the shows.As we are rather private reserved people however, perhaps we shouldn't have chosen a B and B for our stay. There was a dining and sitting area separate from our bedroom that we chose not to use. We had expected a microwave in our room, which was not the case.We would stay at Hathaways again, as we loved the location and the cottage itself. We suspect the gardens are stunning in the warmer weather.

Nice room, wonderful breakfast, fabulous front porch and very personable hosts - will definitely go back!
I decided to take my 17-year-old daughter on a little weekend getaway, her first bed and breakfast experience. The room is well-appointed and we felt well looked after by our hosts. The breakfasts were fresh and delish. We would definitely recommend folks stay there who are looking for a quality b&b experience. The location was an easy, flat 10-15 minute walk from the Avon Theatre and lots of restaurants and boutiques.
