Review of K. C.'s stay in Aug 2023
Guest Comments: We love this place! Thank you for everything.
Review of E. . J. .'s stay in Aug 2023
Guest Comments: We enjoyed our stay very much, the cottage was clean, quiet and had all of the amenities. If I could recommend anything it would be more indoor activities are needed for those rainy days.
Review of A. M.'s stay in Jul 2023
Guest Comments: We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. We've rented through Cottage Care a few times over the years and this is by far our favourite and we are eager to stay there again in future years. The very only negative (which was not unmanageable, and didn't make our stay any less enjoyable) was the cleanliness. The cottage was tidy and bathroom/kitchen was clean but it didn't really look like there had been a good deep clean done in quite some time. We dusted up the best we could but it could have used a good vacuum throughout. It didn't take away any of our enjoyment though, and we are extremely grateful for our time spent here!
CCR Reply: Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We have passed along a note to the Owner suggesting a spring clean to kick off the summer with fresh feet. With thanks - Team CCR
Review of R. C.'s stay in Aug 2022
Guest Comments: Hawks Rest is a great cottage with a terrific location. I still think a better dish rack would improve the kitchen experience and to this I'd add keeping the knives in the knife block sharp - cooking ends up being something you always spend time at so any improvements in this area are likely to return benefits that outweigh the costs.
CCR Reply: Thanks again for staying at Hawks Rest, we'll get the dish rack and knives looked after.

Guest Comments: Another wonderful week at Big Hawk Lake—thank you!
Review of D. C.'s stay in Jul 2022
Guest Comments: We loved the location of the cottage and the lake that it is on. The cottage was clean and met our expectations. One of the loungers at the dock had a large tear in it and could not be used. It was like that when we arrived. The bathroom heater came on in the morning some of the days. We could not figure out how to turn it off or on but it eventually went off. The package included for the dump sites was from 2021 so we had to drive to Dorset one of the days as it was the only location that was open. We enjoyed our week. The sunsets were amazing.
CCR Reply: Thank you for taking the time to detail your experience at the cottage. The Owners have purchased a new lounger, thanks to your mentioning. We apologize for the outdated dump information. The Hawk Lake dump closed just this year, sorry for the inconvenience. The sunsets are certainly the best at Hawks Rest with those west facing views! All the best - Team CCR
