“Travel back in time in comfort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

These cottages are part of a community of restored 1800's miner's cottages in South Street. We stayed in Biddle Cottage, one of 5 properties in the street owned by this lovely couple.

“We'll come back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2010

We love the South Street Cottages and have visited them 3 times with our little dogs. [who are made most welcome] Charming decor in period style but with modern gadgets as well . Provisions left in the fridge. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Just a stroll into town. Lovely private courtyards that we found secure for our dogs.

“A bit different to your average accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2009

Stayed in SouthHaven - the two bedroom two-level cottage. It was really lovely with all the homely touches and food in the pantry and fridge etc. Our 11 y.o. son loved the upstairs (main I might add) bedroom and claimed this for himself so he could watch tv etc to his heart's content and it was fun for him to...

What a gorgeous place to stay! We stayed 2 nights in Biddle Cottage and it was like walking into your own home. Very cosy, the wood fire was all set up & ready to go, flowers were in vases, wine in fridge, breakfast provisions, lots of extras in pantry (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, herbs etc), tablecloths, even safety pins, pegs,...

These cottages are cute! Spacious and equipped with all the amenities, including a wood stove and washer / dryer. The bottle of wine left at our door was amazing! Easy walk to all the downtown activities.
