- BBrianne Oswald05/06/2024making our wedding weekend stay so exceptionalmaking our wedding weekend stay so exceptionalWe booked "The Cottage" for our wedding weekend in Stratford in May 2023. Us and our two children stayed in the house for 3 nights. All four of us felt like complete royalty from the moment of check-in. We were in awe of the service we received during our staying and would give more than 5-star rating if we could. The pool/spa area of the hotel was thoroughly enjoyed by our family. The cottage was big enough for us to host a welcome gathering (20ish people) the night before the wedding...We booked "The Cottage" for our wedding weekend in Stratford in May 2023.
