Staying at the Garden Cottage was a serene and peaceful get away after losing a very dear nephew. Faye and family allowed my local family to come to visit and enjoy the peace and serenity of the country surrounded by the beauty of the flowers and nature. Its fragrant scent still lingers. Thank you Pam

Super charming cottage! Loved being surrounded by flowers in bloom; enjoyed morning coffee in outside space. Interior lovely with well chosen antiques/vintage appropriate items. I was worried about white couches with a hubby and a teenager, but there were covers for protection. We did not cook or needed a kitchen for meals, just made coffee, but could have easily done so in well equipped kitchen. No room for three to sit in kitchen, but did not need to. Lovely stay with friendly hosts!

The location is great, the cottage cozy with enough space for 4 adults (not sure 6 would be comfortable), but there are a few reasons I gave the review a 4: 1) the hot water is so hot my husband got literal burns doing dishes not realizing the water would get that hot 2) When we arrived there were no lights anywhere. The lanterns on the stone wall by the road werent on, the porch light wasnt on, at least one inside light wasnt on. It was very dark and hard to see. 3) So SO much furniture for such a tiny place. There was furniture in every doorway making getting around the cottage very awkward. We ended up moving things to get through doorways and none of us are fat. 4) Poor arrival instructions. The welcome email does not state how to get a key (the front door was left open), or how to connect to wifi (I had to email for password). There was also no exit instructions. We did the dishes and took the trash out, which really for a $300 cleaning fee was good enough in our opinion. 4) More blankets for the beds now that it is colder would be nice. Or a throw or two for the couches to snuggle up and watch TV would be good. But overall the stay was excellent. There is laundry on property making cleaning easy. It is close to Rt 8 making getting around CT very easy. The property owner is very communicative, so if there’s an issue she responds quickly (we had no issue beyond not knowing the door would be left open and not knowing the wifi PW). Also, they get a half star for having a naughty lightswitch which I appreciated. David is one of my favorite statues. Thanks for the great stay :)

Great location. Faye accommodated us for a few extra days. We had our hardwood floors refinished and it was perfect for us checking in on our house. Pet friendly.
