Review of J. H.'s stay in Aug 2024

starstarstarstarstar

Guest Comments: This cottage was truly a 5-star experience. From the moment we arrived until the very sad minute we left, we had everything we needed for the perfect multi-generation family vacation. Honestly, even the dog left with a smile on her face, and we all left exhausted but happy. The one and only thing I would recommend is perhaps providing two dump passes so we could do a dump run mid-week? With no compost, 10 people create a lot of waste, and it would be lovely to be able to rid the cottage of most of it before checkout day. Otherwise, as the dump doesn't open until 10am and checkout is at 11am, we are really hustling back from the dump to pack the car at 10:45am or we are lugging all of the bags of garbage with us to the dump when we leave at 11am. Just a thought. Otherwise it was lovely and both Cottage Care and Whip-or-Will cottage will be highly recommended by all.

CCR Reply: Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback. We have heeded your suggestion, and agree! We look forward to welcoming you back next summer.
