 Less Than Advertised, October 14, 2007

By Ronnie Cox (Halifax Nova Scotia)

Location was as advertised,cost reasonable and for a family reunion served us well.Downside to web page ad "luxurious Stone House" The gas grill,hair dryer,microwave and hi speed internet did not exist.The garage mentioned was not for guest's usage,well equipped kitchen had large 5 burner stove but only 4 pots, 2 ovens only one broiler no oven mitts and no can opener.Dish washer was a saving grace as there were no dish cloths or dryers.Coffee maker lights turned on but never did heat any water and large coffee urn marked HOT WATER didn't have all the pieces to make it complete. Bathrooms and soaker tubs were beautiful.In the European tradition there were no face cloths or soap to be found.The bedroom & bathroom doors would be okay in a private home but in a bed and breakfast you don't want to see nana in the shower through the door frame.No locks on bedroom doors can't share house with strangers. Beautiful patio very limited furniture. Dollar store in Kemptville was our best friend
