“Highly recommend!!!”
Jane is lovely and very welcoming, she even offered to pick us up and drop us to the station free of charge. Every little thing that you can possibly imagine has been taken care of in her little cozy house. The room is so cute and cozy with spectacular views of the lake!

“A perfect winter stay.”
Where it was situated - right on the lake front. Fabulous in the winter and fabulous I would imagine in the summer. Loved the Canadian artwork. Proper coffee machine, microwave, and owner gave us real milk.

“Wonderful getaway with outstanding view”
We throughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderfully eclectic retreat. The access to a private porch with a million dollar view was perfect. We also loved the ability to walk out the back gate to the beach and reach downtown restaurants within minutes - all on foot. The host had much useful knowledge about the area.

“A very nice place for a short break”
Jane was a caring and thoughtful hostess. Her accomodation is a special gem, especially if you want to relax a little. The highlight of the accommodation is definitely the cozy place on the waterfront with a private beach. In town, I was able to get to everything important without a car and found some good cafés/shops/restaurants to eat or take away food.

“Relaxed, classic Ontario waterfront aesthetic: glorious outdoor terrace.”
Lakefront location is superb: tranquil, great view, close to main street shopping and amenities. Comfortably furnished patio area perfect for reading and relaxing, or gathering with family or friends. Cosy indoor seating area, with lots of thoughtful touches from umbrellas to bath bombs! A lot of space for the money.

“Great Location, cozy, and right on the beach!”
The location was fantastic. I was able to leave my car safely parked and walk everywhere I was going. Cobourg is a nice small town with a beautiful marina and gorgeous beach. The space is somewhat crowded but you have everything you need to have a lovely stay. Jane is very welcoming and access to lots of options for sitting in the sun or shade and enjoying the water.

“Relaxing and quaint stay at the Willowmere! 5/5 stars.”
Outstanding stay at the Willowmere. What a cozy and quaint bed and breakfast. I loved the location, with a private outdoor sitting area and access to a private beach. The size was perfect for two people. We felt the bed was comfortable and the memory foam pillows were a luxe touch. We read other reviews that said the space was too crowded or had too many knick knacks but we felt this gave the space character and a special feel. Wouldn't change a thing! Jane was a great host. Will certainly be back!
