“A lovely first impression of the vibe and laid-back character of Prince Albert!”
Excellent location, Erika the host was wonderful to deal with and very helpful with suggestions and tips for the area. Nicely decorated with all the amenities we needed - well thought out - very comfortable and private. We had one very rainy afternoon and were happy hanging out indoors on the sofas - plenty of space for two people. Was also interesting to read the owners' story and about the development an renovations of Ta Mall. Well done to Erika and her husband for creating such a lovely, homey environment! Easy walking distance to Hendry's Bakery, Jeremy's and the Prince Albert Cafe for dinners. We really enjoyed strolling up and down the main street.

“Historic charm and warm hospitality”
Nesting in this beautiful 19th-century cottage felt almost like staying in a small museum. The attention to detail and the care taken to preserve a style that truly reflects the period are remarkable. At the same time, the kitchen and bathroom are perfectly functional and comfortable, which makes the stay even more enjoyable. Everything was super clean. Communication with the host, Erika, was very smooth for the check-in, and she was incredibly kind in sharing and documenting the history of the cottage. The surroundings felt very safe, and we enjoyed a lovely sunset walk through the village. We only stayed one night and wished we could have stayed longer.
