Everything about this cottage was nothing less than perfect! We got the sweetest greeting from Miss Roxy when we arrived (seriously the best lab ever). We loved the cottage! The little town of New Oxford is just stunning! We only got to visit for two days but it was worth every moment. You definitely need to stay here! The amenities are great. The host was very quick to respond. The most comfortable bed! Pick this cottage if you are looking for a relaxing stay. Make sure you eat at C&D's!

We had a great stay overall. There was a small hiccup at the start, but the host responded quickly and resolved it right away, which we really appreciated. The location in New Oxford is charming, with a nice small-town feel and convenient proximity to Gettysburg. The only minor downside was some traffic noise from Route 30, which took a bit of getting used to. Otherwise, everything was very comfortable and enjoyable.
