Don’t let the fact that I didn’t give the cottage a five star rating discourage you from staying at the Bay View Terrace Cottage. It was a nice place in a great location.The house is comfortable and has two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The rooms throughout the house are quite large. The bedroom with the twin beds doesn’t have a landing after going up the steep stairs. Since children might stay in that room, it would be great if a safety gate could be installed. Be prepared to wake up very early, because the blinds don’t keep out the light.
My major issues with the house: First, when I walked in the door I immediately saw religious literature, the sort intended to convert someone, on the mantle. I was very uncomfortable with this. I also found it strange that we were asked to replace any toilet paper we used. We had a few jokes around that one. The house did have tea, but no coffee. If you have a car, be sure to bring oil, milk, etc. We also were asked to wash the towels before we left and exactly one piece of washing machine soap was left under the sink. We were also asked to take the recycling and garbage out to the street, but no mention of which week to take it out. I wanted to sweep and mop the kitchen floor since we were in the house for 6 days, but there was no broom or mop. Anyway, there are more positives than negatives about the house, but I wanted to know there are few unusual requests. I wrote about the bus and walks nearby, but only 1500 word
