Peaceful Retreat
My family stayed at the Summerfield Cottage for a "girls" weekend retreat and visit to Berkeley Springs. Overall, we had a lovely stay. The house was relatively clean, comfortable and quiet. Although our stay was during the winter, I can imagine the property is gorgeous in the warmer months with the stream meandering past. The only issues we encountered: The step up to the front door (which is constructed of one large stone) is very difficult for anyone with balance or mobility issues. It was a challenge getting in/out of the house for a couple of us. The bathrooms would benefit from new toilet seats to replace the old ones which are very noticeably stained. Water tastes strongly metallic (probably from excess iron) and is not drinkable. Although I noticed there is a whole house water filter/softener, a reverse osmosis filter on the kitchen sink would make that tap useable. Although I cannot comment on the other bedrooms, the mattress in the master bedroom is old and uncomfortable. Just offering these few suggestions to make future guests' stays more pleasant and encourage repeat visits. Overall, our stay was enjoyable, and we would consider returning to the cottage.
