“We loved this house! The sofabed in the living room was great for watching movies! The kitchen was beautiful and the dining room was perfect for Dad’s dinners. We had the best family meal around the big dining room table on Saturday night! The upstairs tub was heavenly. I think the teenagers’ favourite part was the iPod dock, and the high-def TV. We enjoyed Pumpkin Fest and everything the county has to offer. We travel about four hours here about 2 x a year and love it. Thank you!”
Pratt Family Getaway
“This was our fifth holiday in the county and our first stay at britannia house. We love the area and enjoy exploring new things that spring up each year. This time we had a great dinner at Harvest – the food was totally outstanding. The Painted Peppercorn is a hidden gem for home-made lunch or dinner. Slickers is always a treat. We made a day trip to Kingston via the Glenora Ferry and would highly recommend it to everyone. We really enjoyed britannia house’s central location and its many rooms to spend time with family or in quiet solitude.”
The Orchovsky Family
“We’ve had a fabulous vacation here in Cherry Valley at this wonderful, spacious and welcoming house. As usual, our oldest two boys loved the beach at Sandbanks. Other hits (some old, some new) Slickers, Buddha Dog, Bookstore in Picton, Tall Poppies Café in Wellington, Park (just across the street).”

"La maison est charmante. La Route des Saveurs et la Route des Arts sont des joyaux a decouvrir. Milford Bistro is a must. The food is exquisite. Les saveurs multiples ont regales notre palais. La maison est bien equipee. La cuisine est bien garnie. We used every room, nook and cranny, even the corde-a-linge"
La Famille Cardinal
"Thank you for your comfy, family friendly abode. Our family of five filled it right up and felt completely at home. britannia house was a great spot to rest in after mornings at Sandbanks, Buddha Dog, Slickers, Vicki’s Veggies, Fifth Town, Black River, day trip to Kingston. All during a mega heatwave – thank goodness for the fans! My four year old calls this the best vacation ever - largely because of the accommodations. Thank you so much."

“We’ve had an amazing few days, and enjoyed the whole county. It’s great to be able to tour the area, sample and buy great food and wine, and then come back to this nest and cook as a family. So relaxing, and our youngest member (Jeremy, 5 months old) even seems to have enjoyed his first holiday. We’ll recommend this place to friends in both Canada and the UK.”

“britannia house is absolutely charming and perfectly located between Picton and Sandbanks. The kids had a great time discovering Outlet Beach and Dunes Beach. Slickers ice cream was a yummy treat for the kids and the grown-ups too. We enjoyed the little town of Picton and spending time at the library and bookstore. Highlights included the coconut cream pie from Amelia’s Garden (The Waring House) and relaxing in the evening at this wonderful house.”

Group of Four Ladies
“Girls gone wild weekend. OK, more like mums getting away from our houses - but who’s counting. Six women of a certain age enjoyed each other’s company, watched chick flicks and played Songstar (badly!) and had the time of our lives. We checked out Picton, the beach, the museums and saw lots of local colour. We almost took home a gorgeous calico who visited us. We named her Brit after this gorgeous house. We’ll be back (as the Terminator said) This place is in our hearts.”
