Susan's Cottages - Александрія

Susan's Cottages are very clean and private. The cottages are close enough to town to do what you need to do and far enough to enjoy the peaceful country. The rooms are beautifully decorated, better than any hotel. Look forward to going back. Thanks.

Susan's Cottages are the best get away rooms that I experienced so far, the details in the room are phenomenal and the location is far enough to have a romantic weekend

The location is ideal for a get-away weekend -- far enough outside of Alexandria to be quiet and charming, but close enough to run in to town for any little thing you've forgotten.

Susan answered and explained that she had been called away unexpectedly and told us that the key was in our door. I appreciate that she would not want to leave that information on a note on the door, but some kind of indication that we should call her would have been appropriate. As others have said, the quality of the "continental" breakfast is somewhat lacking. We found two biscuits and two muffins under a glass dome when we arrived, which means that they were at least a day old when we ate them the next morning. They were fine, but nothing unusual. There was also a selection of instant "fruit and creme" oats and instant grits, as well as fruit juices in the fridge, and packaged hot cocoa mix. Neither one of us can stand the faux fruit flavored varieties; we would have been happy with plain or something like cinnamon/brown sugar. I thi Читати далі
