The home was, simply put , beautiful. Lovely interior choices, each bedroom had their own personality (and ensuite) and the kitchen was ready for any culinary creation.

Thank you Brooke! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at Cory Cottage. We would love to welcome you back anytime.
Highly recommend this beautiful property. My family group of six adults truly enjoyed the cottage and its great amenities. The host made a special effort to make our stay so comfortable. The check in process was easy and the gourmet kitchen is wonderful…just wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cory cottage. We booked the cottage for 3 nights leading up to our wedding at the Algonquin hotel. We stayed at the cottage with some of our bridal party and we had a fabulous time drinking coffees on the screened in porch, cooking big breakfasts together in the morning in the cottage's beautiful kitchen, and enjoying the close proximity to the hotel for getting ready for the big day!

It’s wonderful. The water has a strong iron taste to it so a filtration option would be great.It’s such a lovely spot!

Thank you Amber, I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. I was concerned with your observation about the taste in the water and followed up with the town of St. Andrews who supplies the water to the house. The water delivered to the house is via copper piping and all of the waterlines from the town line to house are new, there is no old piping that would deposit iron in the water.
We have always been happy with the quality of the water supplied by the Town of St. Andrews and really enjoy the taste of it. I’m sorry that you experienced it differently.
We recently stayed at this fantastic VRBO in Saint Andrews for a conference, and it exceeded our expectations! As a group of four women, we appreciated the property’s perfect location next to Algonquin, which made walking everywhere a breeze. The house was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed, with every detail considered for our comfort. Our host was incredibly responsive and ensured our stay was seamless. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your kind words John! I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at Cory Cottage and time in St. Andrews. I do hope you come and stay with us again!
We love Saint Andrews and this home was the perfect way for our family to all be together to enjoy it.
We love the old homes and historic feel of the area. This home has a rich history with a great blend of modern amenities yet with a historic feeling.
The house was spotless and very well looked after. All of the rooms are large and spacious with very comfortable beds. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom which is a great feature.
The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need.
Dierdra was so pleasant and helpful from the very start. She answered all of our questions and even helped with some great suggestions. We really can’t say enough good things about the house and the host.
We would definitely come back and stay here again!

It was a pleasure hosting you Stephen! Thank you for the kind words. I’m delighted that everything worked out well for your family get together. I hope you come back soon!
We stayed two nights at Corey cottage. From the start of our booking. The host could not have been more helpful. Very easy to contact and responded quickly.
We stayed 2 nights and were able to unload our vehicles in the morning of the day we checked in as we were heading to Maine for a bit of shopping. We appreciated this so much. The cottage is stocked with everything you could possibly need. We brought few groceries as we were planning to dine out. Everything was easy to find. And quality linens, dishes , cutlery.
The view is beautiful.
This was an amazing place to stay and I would recommend it.
Can’t wait to come back some day.
