“Perfect in every way.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

I promised my family that - after a few years of non-stop running - that we would enjoy our favourite parts of Grey County simply as tourists. In short, it had been a very long time since we'd had a chance for a vacation, and Holly Cottage was at the top of our list of places to stay. We weren't disappointed. This B&B is perfect in every way. To begin, David and Norma are the most charming hosts imaginable: attentive, warm, intelligent, well-informed... and (it turns out) absolutely marvellous cooks! Beyond that, the home itself is beautiful: a Grey County stone home, wonderfully restored and appointed. The bedrooms - one for us and another for our young daughter - were the stuff of dreams... literally. If you want to experience a perfect slice of Grey County, spend a little time at Holly Cottage. Plan to stay a bit: David and Norma can direct you to the local beauty spots and the best local restaurants (do try Leeky Canoe in Meaford). Though we're not really far away, we'll be back to Holly Cottage again for the hospitality, the wonderful breakfasts, and the charming surroundings.

“Great experience. We'll be back!”

Our stay at the Holly Cottage was perfect. Starting with the hosts' tremendous hospitality and generosity and adding the delicious, fresh, organic and huge breakfast, everything made our stay extremely pleasant. Evenings were charming sitting in the nicely decorated living room enjoying a variety of organic tea and home made cookies.Norma and David are not only great hosts but also very helpful and resourceful giving us ideas and directions to places that the Tourist Information Centre didn't even mention. We spent 4 days and three nights there and we were sad that we had to leave. We plan to go back again and we would recommend this place to anyone who loves a welcoming and warm place to stay, loves to chat and have a good time in the company of very kind people. Thank you again , Norma and David.

“quality lodging”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

Fantastic respite at a charming home. Everything was perfect. Our room, The Kyle Room was large and comfortable and our bathroom was new and huge. The entire inn was tastefully decorated and so cozy. Norma and Dave are the hosts with the most! Breakfasts were superb and fresh and satisfying. A beautiful country home where you can relax outside on the back porch and watch the birds. I was also impressed with how clean and tidy everything was. The Cottage sits between Owen Sound (10 minutes to W) and Meaford (15 min to E). We will most certainly stay here again. A terrific find.

“A Charming Blend of Yesterday and Today”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This charming old stone farmhouse with complimenting new addition is the kind of place that inspires poetry, music, and painting. David and Norma make you feel truly welcomed and show they genuinely love having a BnB in their beautiful home. Hospitality, cheery and warm, "Would you prefer coffee or tea?" An old and modern decor mix of Grey-Bruce Country charm, haven from a Summer storm, Holly Cottage BnB. Here's Drama and Romance. Thunder rolls long and deep, raindrops quickly tap and beat, raindrops in a rhythmic dance with garden flowers by the door...Here the sense of Time is lost. Is it now or days of yore? Feeling a sense of Mystery, when you leave you're wishing 'More'!
