Peter and his family are amazing hosts. Peter's property is located in a beautiful area with an adjoining fruit and vegetable garden with all the trees labelled so you can see what each plant is. The location is ideal, close enough to easily get to downtown, several eateries and other tourist spots, and far enough to feel like you're in the midst of nature. On the property, you'll see various birds, geckos and iguanas. If you like sleeping to nature sounds like we do, this is the perfect place for you. If needed, Peter does provides earplugs for anyone who would like it quieter. Peter gave us many suggestions on things to do in and on the outskirts of San Ignacio which proved to be very valuable for us. Definitely speak to him before you book any tours, he is definitely in the know and happy to share his knowledge. We also got a tour of his daughter's cat sanctuary that also had rescued pups and some chickens, which was just the icing on the cake of superb hospitality and generosity we had already enjoyed. We highly recommend the Compass Cottage, though please be respectful of Peter's property and his house rules so he can continue to offer this amazing place at such a bargain price.
