Well nice well stocked cottage. Parking is definitely a challenge would recommend planning alternatives if you have more than one car. Would love to go back when there is less construction in the area. Large amount of work being done in the area with lots of construction equipment in the area and on the street during the week

The "Rose Bud"

We had a great time at the "Rose Bud" cottage in Port Stanley. The cottage was very clean, had all necessary amenities. Our host was the best! Perfect location. Close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We would definitely book the "Rose Bud" again for next year.

Fall Getaway with the girls

Lovely, quaint, clean, and nicely decorated. Love the new kitchen and bathrooms! A wee bit tight--good for 7 of us for a weekend, but that's long enough, lol. Wish there was more parking, but it is what it is.

Very cute and clean. I was pleased to see that the pictures are fairly accurate for the cleanliness and size of the cottage. Having the second bathroom was amazing, along with the dishwasher and washer and dryer. Smart tv, lots of eating areas and the cutest patio. The proximity to the beach was amazing, I timed it, three minute walk to the beach. The check in and check out was a breeze. Very impressed.

Wonderful long weekend

If you’re looking for a clean and fully equipped place to rest your head while you enjoy Port Stanley and the beach this is the perfect spot! We stayed with my little family of five (8,6,4 years old) and my husband and we had more than enough space. It’s a short 5 minute walk to the beach and close enough to walk to our favourite ice cream spot Brodericks. Check-in was easy and Kelly was always available if need be. Great little spot!

Thanks Brittany! It was a pleasure to host your family, I’m glad the kids got a chance to enjoy Broderick’s! Come back again soon! All the Best, Kelly
