Very friendly check in. Private and quiet. The office could be better marked (you have to go behind the house on the street). Property and room was very clean. The beds in the cottage we stayed in were past their best before date and need to be changed out. The on site laundry was awesome and the lady offered a drying rack too. Very sweet. ##### Tammy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Stock Exchange Hotel, Manchester, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Stock-Exchange-Hotel.h38779387.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Horseshoe Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Horseshoe-Falls-Hotels.0-l6072509-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [5 Star Hotels in Montego Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/5Star-Montego-Bay-Hotels.s50-0-d180106.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d178314--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pinnacle Hotel Harbourfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Pinnacle-Hotel-Harbourfront.h13323.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Southampton Cruise Terminal](https://www.expedia.ca/Southampton-Cruise-Terminal-Hotels.0-l6156577-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [FourSeasons Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Four-Seasons.0-0-d180002--bFourSeasons.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Marquis Los Cabos, An All Inclusive, Adults Only & No Timeshare Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Del-Cabo-Hotels-Marquis-Los-Cabos.h9769778.Hotel-Information) > > [The Inside House](https://www.expedia.ca/Chiang-Mai-Hotels-The-Inside-House.h21901751.Hotel-Information) > > [Quarterdeck Inn Port Hardy](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Hardy-Hotels-Quarterdeck-Inn-Marina-Resort.h9210710.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus St. John's Airport Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-St-Johns-Airport-Hotel-And-Suites.h20154318.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels.d6127346.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in Bangkok](https://www.expedia.ca/Bangkok-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d178236-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ranchmen Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Medicine-Hat-Hotels-Ranchmen-Motel.h13100305.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santa Teresa](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Teresa-Hotels.d6143929.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [4 Bedroom Cottage On Manitoulin Island, Ontario](https://www.expedia.ca/Central-Manitoulin-Hotels-4-Bedroom-Cottage-On-Manitoulin-Island.h22726938.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/178296/flights-from-ottawa) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/fra/edmonton-to-frankfurt) > > [Air Serbia](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Serbia-Flights.cJU.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Tamale (TML)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/tml/toronto-to-tamale) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lahore (LHE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lhe/toronto-to-lahore) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to New York (JFK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/jfk/ottawa-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Puerto Vallarta (PVR) to La Paz (LAP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pvr/lap/puerto-vallarta-to-la-paz) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Poznań (POZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/poz/edmonton-to-poznan) > > [Flights from Stanfield Intl. to YTO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yto/halifax-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cdg/toronto-to-paris) ### Packages > [Mexico and Central America Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico-And-Central-America.d6023181.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Highland Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Highland-Park.dx553248635074843417) > > [Visit Camden Town](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Camden-Town.dx179518)
