Such a lovely spot, gorgeous garden and view to the mountains, very comfortable home and very well appointed kitchen, it had everything we needed and more!
Loved the fire. Beautifully presented and felt like home. Garden was lovely and the amount of extras in the kitchen and laundry was wonderful. Only suggestion is hair dryer in bathroom.

Glad you enjoyed the cottage ...the hairdryer is in the bedroom...topdrawer or beside the drawers!
We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and the accommodation was well equipped. We enjoyed making a fire on the cool nights and sitting in the back yard after a day of hiking.
Even tho it got to -6 one night the house was still nice and cozy!Full facilities, comfy bed and nice spacious bathroom.Very conveniently close to town, walkable distance to pretty much everything in town.Pauline was very informative and friendly :)
The Regent Cottage is a wonderful base to explore the MacKenzie District. It is spacious, sparkling clean and very well stocked! The raspberry bushes were a wonderful bonus and so delicious and abundant!
The home, the view, a comfy bed, a short walking distance to town and, luckily fabulous weather! What more could we want. We would recommend the place to others.
We had a really good stay in the house on Regent Street. A chilly winters afternoon when we arrived but the fire warmed the place up nicely and it was easy to keep the house warm.Everything was there we could have wished for.Very much enjoyed and recommended to others.
We had a lovely stay with a home away from home feel, cosy fireplace and warm comfy beds. Nice selection of books and board games. Almost too convenient to the Bakehouse and famous pies. Scenic views of mountains.
Excellent communication from hosts and easy check in/out.
