The place was very clean and area was quiet. Hosts were exceptionally friendly. The place was very safe.
The only downpart of our stay was that our car was parking in the street and whenever we would come to the place…

Questions about Shells Corner Cottage

What time is check-in and check-out at Shells Corner Cottage?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Shells Corner Cottage allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Shells Corner Cottage?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Shells Corner Cottage have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Shells Corner Cottage have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Shells Corner Cottage?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
