A nice place to stay near family over the holiday.

10 / 10

Very nice stay.

10 / 10

Pristine, comfortable seating and bed, lovely areas to sit outside. Essex is a beautiful town, walking distance from the cottage. There are so many huge sugar maples that coming back in the Autumn is a thought. If so, would not hesitate to stay here again.Adjacent towns also quaint. Gillette Castle, though still closed for the season has really beautiful grounds to walk/hike all year.

10 / 10

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the cottage. Very convenient to all surrounding towns. Restaurants were all very very good to excellent. Just a great place to relax and enjoy. Looking forward to visiting again in the future
