The property was as described and it was the perfect size for our party which was two couples and a child. The owners communicated well and our stay went smoothly.
This home is charming and has all the amenities one could wish for. The community is a lovely place to visit. Michael, the host, was so good to communicate all that we needed and check in on us.
From booking to arrival, Michael & Gail were prompt in their communication and providing easy instructions. The cottage is perfection, well appointed, beautifully decorated and in a quiet neighborhood just blocks from the lake. Very close to Queen Street and its many offerings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We stayed here for my sons wedding. The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood with a nice patio to sit outside. The house was well stocked. We had a great time
Shakespeare Cottage was a great place to stay. It was located close to the theater, shopping, restaurants, Lake Ontario, wineries, ect. Our host was great at communicating with us. I highly recommend this VRBO rental.

Thank you kindly for taking care of our family. The space was very nice and perfect for two babies and a family.
Loved the location! Walked to see the sunset at the lake every night. Rented bikes to ride into town. House had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
Had a fabulous time. Only downside is there is no bathroom upstairs for the 2 bedrooms as you have to come downstairs. Place is beautiful and had everything you need and was in pristine condition. Beds and pillows fabulous.
Good location. Close to downtown and within walking distance from the lake. Nice private deck.
All kitchen equipment available. Comfortable beds
Owner communicated well.
We all loved the house which was super clean, very comfortable and well equipped. Communications with the owners was seamless. Instructions left by the owners were clear. The location is great. Altogether a perfect stay.
Clean as a whistle in every aspect both inside and out. Wonderful, comfortable mattress and luxurious sheets. Close to lake and town. Great communication with hosts and easy check in. Loved our stay in your home on your lovely street in niagara on the lake. Thank you.
Shakespeare Cottage is a very well kept, tastefully decorated property in a beautiful neighborhood. The home comes with all the things one needs. Host Gail and Michael are very easy and efficient to deal with. The location of the cottage is excellent. We would go back.
We did a lot of cooking, and found the kitchen and the barbecue well equipped. A short walk to the lake and nice parkland. Lots of great walks. The unit was clean and perfect for two couples. Note that the second and third bedrooms are upstairs, while their bathroom is downstairs. The main floor bedroom has a nice ensuite bathroom. Would stay here again.
A lovely cottage with all amenities and then some. Fully equipped for cooking and dining. Lots of room for gathering. A short walk to the lake, but a bit too far to walk into town - where parking is at a premium.
A beautiful neighborhood, comfortable beds, very clean. I highly recommend if you desire a less touristy experience.
This is a beautiful place to stay. It’s outside the hustle and bustle of downtown NOTL and still close enough to walk into the downtown core. It’s near the lake with beautiful walking opportunities. Inside, it’s renovated with thought and is beautifully decorated. Michael was very respectful and responsive, and there was little I needed to ask him about. All was clear in both his access welcome email and posted around the house. We were very happy to stay there and would return in a flash.
Proximity to Lake Ontario within a lush green neighborhood allowed us to see lovely sunrises and sunsets. Everything we needed for our two week stay was available including a washer and dryer. Walking distance to golf, restaurants and shops was also appreciated. Budapest’s chimney cakes did not disappoint! Close to wineries, we visited many and were pleasantly surprised by some of their kitchens: Two Sisters and Trius stood out to us. Thank you Michael for your hospitality and friendly approach. The TV remote control instructions and other documentation were very useful and the peach festival was nice.
House was clean. Had everything we needed. Lots of good information from the host. Nice quiet neighborhood close to everything. The only real negative was that two of the three bedrooms were upstairs and the bathrooms were on the lower level. We are all 75+ and we usually have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. It was difficult and dangerous.
This place was perfect for our family weekend. The house location was wonderful for a nice walk around the neighbourhood and perfect to end a long day of wine tours and shows.
Kitchen had coffee and easy to use maker. Furniture was comfortable. Both bathrooms are on the first floor. Beds were comfortable. Place is conveniently located to downtown area.
