Amazing stay at this lovely home
Me and my husband stayed here for a couple of days while on a trip around Canada. It was perfect, everything you can think of that you will need is here. It was spotlessly clean, lovely comfortable beds and the washer/dryer came in very useful. The house is on a lovely quiet road and has ample parking. Michael's communication was excellent, I received very clear check in details and he let me know that they were only around the corner if I needed anything. If i was ever in the area again I would definitely book this propertly again.

Wonderful stay at Shakespeare Cottage.
A fabulous stay at Shakespeare Cottage, a perfect location to visit for a family wedding from the UK. Just close enough to walk into the centre of NOTL for shopping/dinner through the streets or along the lake. The property was immaculate throughout, had everything we needed so far as equipment and space and having the garden with BBQ (Used multiple times) was great. Our hosts went over and above our expectations on communication and supporting us. Thank you again Michael and Gail (it was great to meet you Michael).

Wonderful modern cottage, great location, lovely decor, excellent hosts!
My partner and I, plus our parents, stayed at the lovely Shakespeare Cottage for a week before our wedding. Michael was the perfect host - he checked us in, showed us around, and was on hand to answer any questions. He even kindly did a load of laundry for us before we moved on to our next destination. Shakespeare Cottage is a wonderful place, ideal for a group getaway, and Michael and Gail have thought of lots of little extras to really make it feel like a home away from home. It’s in a lovely quiet neighbourhood, not too far from the main part of town, and a short stroll from the lake front. We can’t wait to come back and visit!

Outstanding property in wonderful setting
This accommodation is one of the most well-thought-out cottages I have ever stayed in. Every detail has been meticulously planned for the comfort of the visitors, at the same time as reflecting the passion for travelling of the owners. It is probably this experience that has led them to consider every aspect of a stranger's stay in their cottage, and helped them to create such a warm and interesting environment. Everything you could wish for in the kitchen, beautifully appointed bedrooms (with very comfortable beds), games in a spacious and welcoming lounge, lovely garden and patio . . . and a very warm welcome from the host! We had a wonderful, albeit short stay, and would go back tomorrow if I could. If you are going to stay near Niagara, them this cottage, and this little town is the only place to go!
