WELCOME TO SHAKESPEARE COTTAGE A LICENSED COTTAGE, NO. 039-2024
CLEANING AND DISINFECTING ACCORDING TO COVID-19 GUIDELINES ARE OUR FIRST PRIORITY FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL. WE LEAVE 3 DAYS BETWEEN CHECK-INS FOR EXTRA PROTECTION.
SHAKESPEARE COTTAGE is a complete home with a 5-star rating in accommodations, service, and amenities. Just a 3-minute stroll to the lake at the famous Ryerson Park. At Shakespeare Cottage the 3 bedrooms are comfortable and plush for your pampered rest. The newly renovated designer kitchen with granite countertop gives the well-seasoned traveler the feeling of home. The common area is relaxing, and spacious with CraveTV on Bell Satellite and free WIFI for your personal & private communications.
The dining area is roomy, and comfortable and overlooks the large private deck with BBQ, table, and inviting chairs where one can enjoy the garden with plenty of birds, squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks. Our Cottage is where you can feel at home during your holidays, weekend getaways, or business stay. Shakespeare Cottage is a tastefully presented and modernized property that creates the intimate atmosphere of a warm country cottage yet enjoys a location in one of the prettiest towns in Canada. We are located in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood near the lake. Shakespeare Cottage provides the ultimate destination from which to enjoy the enchantment of the Niagara On The Lake experience.
