As always we had the best time, there is so much todo. Our kids really loved the pool table this year. The new side patio was a lovely addition. This was our third summer and are already looking forward to our visit next year.

Nice location but a lot smaller in person compared to the pictures. Floors throughout were very dirty and couldn’t walk barefoot or your feet would be filthy within seconds. Dishes were found in cupboard filled with liquid ( water and grease). Supply of compost bags and dish detergent were limited to 1. No face cloths were provided but lots of towels and hand towels were available.

Thank you for your stay and for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that some aspects of your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Upon hearing your concerns at check-in, our team promptly returned to the cottage to perform an additional cleaning to ensure everything was up to standard.
While our cottage is compact by design — as mentioned in the listing — we aim to provide a cozy and relaxing stay, supported by outdoor amenities and thoughtful touches. We’ve followed up with our cleaning team regarding the dishes and will review our supply protocols to better meet guest needs. We also appreciate your note about face cloths and will consider including them in the future.
Your feedback helps us improve, and we thank you for taking the time to share it.
This was our second year staying at the cottage and always love our time next to the cows! If there are ever any problems Frankie is always quick to respond to any issues when told. My only issue was the second bathroom had an Oder that would not go away, even after they placed a machine in there to help. Despite that….
We will definitely be back next year as it’s a family favourite.

Lovely place with possible downsides
Generally, the time at this place was very positive for us. The property manager was very thoughtful in crafting an environment that would be good for kids. There's a trampoline, there's a video game station, there's a nice big front lawn that's good for kids to play in.
The cottage is nicely maintained and clean.
However, some aspects of the property description may be misleading. The description states that the property sleeps 8 people. To be clear, the cottage in all likelihood is far too small for 8 adults. Generally, it would be more appropriate for 4 adults and 4 kids.
Importantly, the cottage is located right next to a small industrial farm. There are cows on it, which can be very fun for little kids. However, on some days the smell of manure and fertilizer can be overwhelming. For some people, who are sensitive to unusual odors, this can be a very important detail.
The cottage is located in a very beautiful and peaceful area. It's nice to sit by the fire on its front lawn and enjoy watching the stars above. If you're not too fussy, it can be a great place for you to enjoy an inexpensive stay on PEI.
