Book a Melville Cottage

"I read the other reviews before booking and I thought that I would be able to handle it. I've traveled all over and stayed in some really disgusting hostels so I thought the room wouldn't be so bad in comparison. I don't mind the stains on the chairs or the holes in the comforters, as long as the sheets are clean (which they were), but the smell of the room was terrible. Someone had obviously smoked a lot in there. The shower curtain had mold all over it; those are not expensive to replace and soaking in bleach should take care of it (easy fixes). The last straw was when I went to make coffee and although I wouldn't normally I checked where the water was - black mold. I'm allergic to mold and as soon as I opened it I started sneezing. On this trip I've stayed at several places at the same price point and they were all much nicer. This place shouldn't be more than $80 including taxes and fees a night, at least then you would know you're getting what you pay for."

"Everything was wonderful. The staff were just lovely. The only problem was we found the bed uncomfortable. It wasn’t unbearable, for one night. Overall, I would highly recommend this place. It is beautiful."

"Great house and property. It was the perfect size for a group getaway. The view was amazing. The property was large and well kept. The house was stocked with everything we needed. And the common areas were spacious to allow conversation and gathering. The spaces were clean and bright.The check in and check out process was great. And we were able to communicate with the host prior to the weekend when we had questions. Host was very responsive. Definitely would stay at this house again and would encourage others to check it out."

"Nice place to stay"

"Beautiful, very relaxing area. Customer service was excellent."

"The home is lovely and well appointed. Some of our guests would have liked drapes as the morning sun is bright.As we were there in the winter it would have been nice if the heat had been turned on prior to our arrival. And this would have made the homeowner aware of the heat not working in the lower wing. We tried without success.There was no dry wood available for the fireplace which would have been nice to have readily available.We also had a windstorm which pointed out that the French doors in the Master Suite (lower) were unlatched and we needed help getting them latched as it was an unusual method.All in all, we had fun. It was supposed to be a lazy vacation and would come again. The homeowner could step it up if the winter season is something he is serious about pursuing.A "house-book" available on the island may have been of assistance instead of contacting the owner or looking through every door/drawer.In the end he made it right, and we are all adults with a sense of humour and no harm was done."

"Everything was smooth and superb, the best cottage experience ever and the landlord were very nice and helpful "

"Stay was great. Owners were very nice and breakfast was great. Only issue is that sheets didn’t seem to be fresh clean. They were probably old carrying used smell. I guess this could be part of ‘bed and breakfast’ experience we are not used to. If the place had new and fresh sheets I’d give it 5 stars."

"Everything waa absolutely beautiful! "
