We stayed in the cottage for a long weekend while I was in town for the half marathon race. It fit our family really well (me and my husband, a 7 month old and an almost 3 year old) and we were able to put the ladder away safely when the 3 year old couldn't follow our safety directions. Breakfast was amazing, and the kitchen in the cottage was perfect to accommodate meals brought in, as well as a little cooking for our last dinner. The location of this place is perfect - grocery store an easy walk away, park nearby, ferry and Harbour not a long walk either. We did not have a vehicle- just bikes/trailers - but it was still perfect for us!
