Ishbel was very quick to respond to my questions prior to my arrival. She was friendly in person and gave me a quick but thorough explanation of how the electronics worked and where supplies were kept. The cottage is beautifully decorated and the small kitchenette had everything I needed. Everything was squeaky clean. The yard is very pretty with lovely garden views out the windows. The location is within walking distance of downtown Ganges and the Saturday Market. I could hear, only through open windows, the happy sounds of children playing in the school fields. I spent a relaxing evening listening to Ishbel's eclectic collection of Cds - that was an unexpected surprise. I recommend this cottage.
