Suites:

All the suites are self-contained and therefore, they are perfect for weekly or monthly stays in the fall, winter or spring months when we have special rates.

Postern Suite:

The Largest of our suites which features lots of skylights and a separate bedroom with a four poster canopied bed. The living room has a fireplace, access to a sunny balcony, a double sofa bed and sliding doors which can be closed off to allow for privacy should four people share the suite. A fully equipped kitchen and separate dining room plus a full bathroom with jetted tub complete the picture.

Garden Suite:

Queen wrought iron bed snuggled in an alcove facing a beautiful fireplace and living room area with glass sliding doors leading to a sun lit private patio. Soaker tub with Jacuzzi and shower plus a fully equipped kitchen with eating area make this suite one of our favorites.

The Magnolia Suite:

This sun filled suite is almost identical to the garden suite except it has a sunny private balcony off the living room instead of a patio.

Carriage House:

This suite is located in what was once a carriage house when our main cottage belonged to Craigdarroch Castle. A lovely living room with gas fireplace, dining area and access to a private patio and a fully equipped kitchen grace the main floor along with a bathroom featuring a separate shower and a double Jacuzzi bathtub. The bedroom is located in a loft overlooking the living room and featuring a queen bed. The stairs are like a ship's cabin where you descend backwards appealing to the child in all of us.

A very cozy and unique suite.
