This is a lovely little cottage for a family getaway in Port Dover. The place was clean and well stocked, and perfect for our family of four. Teens had to share a smaller room which was fine for the shorter duration (4 nights) but might have been challenging for a longer stay. The place is close to the main area of Port Dover, easily walkable if that is the preference. Instructions from the owners were very clear and owners also sought feedback on any improvements. Appreciated tv and internet access along with the washer and dryer. Recommend this cottage to others.
