About this cottage rental

• Fully-equipped country kitchen with a bluestone countertop, herb tiles from Mexico, and a sunny dining nook.

Great cozy place - awesome location.

This cozy little cottage was great for a weekend away in Woodstock. Everything was great. I will mention that I'm 6 foot 3 and I'm about the maximum height for this cottage. There are low doorways and ceiilings.

Had a perfect, snowy weekend at the Herb Cottage. Amazing location, loved the wood burning fire place, DVD collection and loft bedroom. Highly recommend for a Woodstock getaway.

Could've been a bit cleaner. I get it's an old cottage, but cobwebs everywhere aren't necessary. Also, filling all of the soap dispensers with water to dilute is really budget. It's cute. Great wood burning stove. But just didn't feel like it was worth the price or up to the standards of other vacation rentals I've stayed at in the area and in this price point. I just never felt...clean.
