Hi there, My husband and I and our two 18 year olds are considering coming to Salt Spring! :) Do you happen to have an extra inflatable mattress or pull-out that would allow us all to have a good sleep, by any chance? (double bed too small for us) Thanks kindly, Shirley
Thistle Dew Cottage has one private bedroom with a queen bed, also two 12" memory foam mattresses in the loft overlooking the LR.Answered on 26 May 2024There are three adult women coming and the potential for a fourth none of us wanna sleep in the same bed wonder if I could reserve the three bedroom cottage or the three sleeper cottage, and if the fourth decides to come (were taking a workshop) Could we bring a cot?
No need for a cot...The private bedroom has a queen bed and there are two 12 inch memory foam mattresses in the loft, also the window seat the the LR makes into a single bed.Answered on 26 May 2024Hi Sheril, I would like to book from July 1st to July 3rd in your beautiful cottage for 3 adults and 1 child (11). We also have a Dachshund. I read that we have to ask before to know if it is possible and for the additional cost. Thanks, Anne
Sorry Anne, the dates of July 1 - 3 are already booked. Regarding the dachshund there is an additional charge of $25Answered on 26 May 2024
