Alnwick Cottage, quaint and comfortable

Alnwick cottage is situated approx 6 blocks from probably the prettiest main street in Canada. The cottage is quaint and comfortable.The rental cottage is annexed to the main house..The photograph on VRBO is the front cottage where I live..The rear cottage is completely private.. Consisting of 2 nicely decorated bedrooms both with double beds. Cozy living room, the kitchen is galley style with full size appliances plus all the extras coffee maker, microwave, toaster, electric kettle.

1 bathroom all towels, soaps, shampoos provided. A charming screened sunporch/carport for lounging or dining in a bug free environment. The lovely gardens are available for your enjoyment, barbecue on the gas barbecue, or lounge on the patio, a quiet nook is available under the apple tree for peaceful moments, reading or enjoying the many resident birds and squirrels.

The yard is fenced ,perfect for children and pets.

All linens, towels, kitchen dishes, glasses, etc are supplied. Everything you could possibly need.

If anyone checks out google street views the house showing is 150 ft south of us,driving me crazy getting google to change it,what happened to our privacy.

Friendly host, lovely gardens, quaint and clean but small space. About a 20-25 minute walk to the Main Street with the shops, a bit further than I was hoping for! That aside, this place is affordable, and perfect for a 2 night stay. Rented bikes for the day and it was so much fun, and so beautiful.

A cozy, convenient cottage

Alnwick is a small but comfortable cottage with every amenity you can think of. A carport turned into a sun porch gives you more room for dining and relaxing. Guests also have the use of a beautiful back garden. If you are there for the Shaw Festival, it's a 15 - 20 minute walk to the Festival and Royal George Theaters. Pauline is a welcoming hostess, but gives you your privacy. She will also spoil your dogs with homemade treats! We would definitely stay there again.

Weekend at Alnwick Cottage

A wonderful stay, an outstanding host and a beautiful cottage with a secret garden. We loved our stay this past weekend. Our host was most gracious and welcoming. Pauline made sure everything was in good order and really made our stay comfortable and welcoming. I would highly recommend this host for anyone looking for time away in Niagara on the Lake.

We ditched the theatre to enjoy the beautiful environment!

I had treated my sister to tickets for the theatre and rented this property for our stay. Itā€™s absolutely lovely, to the point that we only stayed for 1/2 of one show and completely ditched the Saturday matinee I had booked. It was so peaceful, private and quiet we decided to eat in, have a few drinks on our private patio. Rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels and so many birds chirping it was a little slice of heaven!

October getaway

Lovely property. Excellent location. Within walking distance to all the downtown shops, and a short drive to Niagara Falls. Pauline was a gracious host and provided some useful tips. We were four adults, and found the place on the small side, but we were aware that it was cozy prior to our arrival.

Beautiful English Garden

I enjoyed staying at the cottage, which has a quaint old english charm, but more-so enjoyed the garden. The back garden is lush and peaceful, as well as being fully fenced. It was the perfect place to decompress with my dog.

Wonderful stay

We absolutely loved Pauline's property. The cottage was quaint, cozy and clean. It provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The sunroom was excellent. It gave us so much more additional room. However the BEST was the outdoor space. We felt we were in secret gardends. Absolutely lovely! Thank you Pauline for sharing your property with us! We will be back !

Beautiful Cozy Cottage

Had an amazing three days staying in Niagra on the Lake. Pauline is an amazing hostess and gardner! The grounds were amazing and beautiful. The cottage had everything we needed and was only a few blocks from the heart of downtown, the lake and fort. We are already talking of returning here for a quick getaway to tour some wineries!
