Stayed 31 nights in Jul 2025 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon G., Kincardine Aug 28, 2016 #### Highly Recommend My husband and I, along with our small dog, were delighted make the Cosy Cottage our temporary home for an extended stay this summer. Accomodation can make such a difference in your overall experience of a place. I'm happy to tell you that we had a marvellous time! Great location, well equipped and exactly as advertised. Highly recommend! Sharon, John and Bella ##### Sharon G. Stayed 42 nights in Jul 2016 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Judy D. Aug 6, 2015 #### Superb Location! Emily Carr's Cozy Cottage was delightful and the location, in the heart of James Bay, was ideal. Just a half block off of Dallas Road we could walk for miles along the paths next to the ocean. There are several access points for going down to the beach as well. There is only on street parking but we were always able to park right in front of the cottage. It was an easy walk to the inner harbor and downtown Victoria. The cottage is 3 blocks from the James Bay Thriftys (nice grocery store). The house itself is charming. It is tiny and the closet space very minimal but adeuquate for a holiday. The kitchen is lovely and well equipped. The bed was comfortable but note that it is right up against 3 walls with no possibility of being moved out. I had to crawl out across my husband to get out of bed if he was still in it. The yard is fenced with a BBQ out back. We would definitely recommend this cute cottage! ##### Judy D. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria On The Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Victoria-On-The-Harbour.h10291.Hotel-Information) > > [Strathcona Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Strathcona-Hotel.h14931.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Lion Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Red-Lion-Inn-And-Suites.h921052.Hotel-Information) > > [Accent Inns Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Accent-Inns-Victoria.h23239.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Marriott Inner Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Victoria-Marriott-Inner-Harbour.h1054406.Hotel-Information) > > [Huntingdon Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Huntingdon-Manor-Hotel.h4424.Hotel-Information) > > [The Parkside Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-The-Parkside-Hotel-Spa.h2774661.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Victoria-Ocean-Pointe-Resort.h24035.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Suites Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Suites-Victoria.h3539.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn at Laurel Point](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Inn-At-Laurel-Point.h5087.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Chateau-Victoria-Hotel-And-Suites.h7677.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Scot Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Royal-Scot-Hotel-Suites.h84279.Hotel-Information) > > [The Vic, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-The-Vic.h62690.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairways Hotel on the Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Fairways-Hotel-On-The-Mountain.h46008141.Hotel-Information) > > [Coast Victoria Hotel & Marina by APA](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Coast-Victoria-Hotel-Marina-By-APA.h40703.Hotel-Information) > > [The Magnolia Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-The-Magnolia-Hotel-And-Spa.h201024.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Rialto](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Hotel-Rialto.h3007314.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grand Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Hotel-Grand-Pacific.h788618.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Empress](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Fairmont-Empress.h8478.Hotel-Information) > > [Oak Bay Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Oak-Bay-Beach-Hotel.h40973.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Downtown Inner Harbour](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Downtown-Inner-Harbour.h34740.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Island Inn Backpackers Suites - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Ocean-Island-Inn-Backpackers-Suites-Hostel.h8254084.Hotel-Information) > > [Robin Hood Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Robin-Hood-Inn-Suites.h8065306.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Victoria Uptown](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Victoria-Uptown.h13455.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Carlton Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Carlton-Plaza-Hotel.h10605.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Hotel Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Sandman-Hotel-Victoria.h565052.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Zed Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Hotel-Zed-Victoria.h65738.Hotel-Information) > > [Arbutus Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Arbutus-Inn.h889989.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Regent Waterfront Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-Victoria-Regent-Waterfront-Hotel-Suites.h3794.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa, Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels-The-Westin-Bear-Mountain-Golf-Resort-Spa.h1163262.Hotel-Information)
