Liked: Staff & service
We stayed for a week and used this as a home base while we toured the south shore. The cottage was showing some wear, towels were worn and dishes were mismatched and only enough for two. This property is in an older area and was consistent with the general area. Staff quickly provided a hair dryer when asked. We often saw deer on the property.

Unfortunately the check in was problematic as we did not have a cottage as expected on our first night and there was disturbance from other guests at our drive up room in all fairness we were put in a separate cottage the remaining 2 nights which made the stay more convenient A deep cleaning of the facility would be highly recommended Shelburne area was beautiful and central to our visit to a lot of the local beaches , towns and tourist attractions

The room was dirty which was brought to the attention of the staff with no comment. We cleaned our room and requested clean linens and towels. There was no continental breakfast as advertised on website. Convenient location.

Nicely decorated

The room was nicely decorated but shows a little wear here and there. The shower was awesome. The outdoor pool was not clean enough that I would consider using it.

The staff were helpful and kind. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Our only observation was that the shower door didnt slide properly and there was a hole in the wall. Its not fancy but it was quiet and great for a short-term stay.

The whole place needs a deep clean.All appliances and surfaces need to be cleaned. All windows and light shades . Lots of spiders. Toilet handle broke off , shower and floors need to be cleaned. Beds had stains, crusty spots and they were not changed. But when we let them know they came and mopped and changed the beds and gave us more towels.

Disliked: Amenities
I was disappointed with this property. The advertising photo and description show an attractive cottage with a kitchen. I bought groceries so that I could prepare a meal. Instead, we were registered in a bare bones motel room with no cooking facilities. I found the odour of cleaning agents to be overwhelming. There were ashtrays with stale cigarette butts outside the room door, and individuals smoking on a deck adjacent to the office.

Mould in door and back wall and around shower and shower curtain. Stove was filthy, oven was filthy, mouse droppings in cupboard.fridge froze everything, carpet filthy, bar b que and utensils were filthy windows and window sills filthy with dead flies and fly droppings. Window coverings difficult and some didnt work. I have pictures to prove the above. I stayed in a 2 bedroom cottage, do not sure about the rest of the facility.
