Avonlea Forest Hill Cottages

The Sandpiper cottage was in the perfect location for exploring all of PEI as central on the north coast and beautiful beaches a short drive or long hike away. The Tourist Mart, close by, had all the food and other household supplies you might need and The Ship Yard restaurant just down the street had the best food we had on our trip - everything was just perfect. The kitchen had most everything you needed but the pots and frying pans were very tired - bring a good frying pan and at least one good pot if they don't upgrade if you like to cook. Beds were very comfortable and lots of extra blankets if you wanted them. Good cupboard space as well. Having the two bathrooms, one on each floor was perfect for 2 couples or a family. BBQ was pretty new and very clean and all the BBQing utensils were there. Picnic table outside on the deck and parking right outside the door. Very quiet spot and just 4 cottages in the group but very well spaced out and lots of trees giving you privacy and a pretty spot. We got our key from the office just down the road a few hours early and since we were leaving very early in the morning they let us just leave the key in the cottage when we left - very accommodating and fast communication when I asked a question. Would recommend staying here for location, space and cute cottage and great beds.

The Sandpiper cottage is the one closest to the road and during the night it could be very noisy. Since we stayed the middle of September we could have the windows closed but during the hotter summer when you would want the breeze it may be quite noisy for sleeping. The pots and pans in the kitchen had seen better days but we did manage. If you plan to cook, check with the rental agents to see if the pots and pans have been updated - if not bring your own.

Big house that would comfortably accomodate two families. Fully equipped with a nice interior and exterior and most importantly comparing to other Avonlea locations - nicely secluded. At the same time - super close everywhere.

A little too pricey for us but that's kind of my own fault as we were renting for two a place that should fit five people.

Property was amazing. Cottage was spotless. Everything we needed was there! Beautiful well kept property and green space. Outdoor patio awesome. We loved that the cottages were not all on top of one another!
