The Stevenson House is a good choice but needs a new sofa and should provide bar soap instead of the dispensers in the shower. Also the desk agent on Sunday had a definite attitude problem. She was curt and dismissive and not at all welcoming.

The cottage appeared run-down and not kept up as far as interior maintenance goes. The area around the shower had black spots in the white grout, indicating prior mold or mold stains. Carpeting was feeling dark and soiled. This, however, was very convenient to walking to restaurants, shops, bakery and the beach.

Great location. We walked everywhere. Got some exercise going uphill coming back from the beach which was welcomed after indulging in brunches and dinners at several fabulous local spots. Note: walls are thin.

We'd stay again! Location and parking

We were in the Cambridge Deluxe Family Cottage: Between the location, the dedicated parking spot, the exterior charm, two full bedrooms with doors, and the kitchenette, this place is a winner. I love when family spaces have two twin beads instead of another double or queen - so much better for kids. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the bathroom had a lot of storage. The landscaping outside is sooooo beautiful. We would stay again without hesitation. On the downside: the place is getting worn and could really benefit from some updates. All the furniture looks 30-50 years old, as does the carpet. The wallpaper is peeling in the bathroom. $1000 in updates would make this place a 5-star property and feel like something really special. The chairs in the living room are terribly uncomfortable, the kitchen "table" was really like a card table and very beat up. The peeling wallpaper is unsightly and just off-putting. I was also a little disappointed in the cleaning - there were crumbs (or something else worse) in one of the kitchen drawers, and I found both some utensils and a pan that had been put away dirty by a previous guest and not cleaned by staff. Like I said, we would stay again without hesitation. But again, a bit more investment and attention to detail would knock this place out of the park.
