A wonderful, quiet getaway spot

The cottage was quaint, clean, and charming. Just off the beaten path, it was a wonderful, peaceful place to stay. I hope to go back soon.

A New Tradition

We were at a loss to find high quality lodging, at a reasonable price, where we could celebrate my wife’s birthday (Dec 18) with our Scottish terrier (“Rufus”) when our usual inn (in MD) stopped accepting pets. My search took me to a VRBO listing for a “charming cottage” in Middleburg, VA. Pet friendly, it looked as if it might meet our needs. Did it ever! Booking was simple and Sandi (the hostess) was very responsive to my inquiries. We arrived during a major rain storm, yet the cottage was cozy, warm, and welcoming. It is extremely neat and clean, and, despite the very accurate photos, the cottage still exceeded our expectations. We appreciated the tasteful décor and many thoughtful touches…water bowl and biscuits for Rufus, birthday champagne and a greeting card, lots of area guidebooks, comfortable bed, and a very well outfitted kitchen with everything but a stove (not permitted by regulation). Located in a neighborhood with estate homes, the cottage is EXTREMELY quiet. Middleburg is a 10 minute drive away via U.S. Route 50, and, with all the shops decorated for the holiday, it was picture-perfect. Finally, Sandi could not have been more accommodating. We know accepting guests with pets can be a gamble and we (and Rufus) do not take pet acceptance for granted. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back. A new tradition is born! Oh, and about that recent 3-star review in a sea of otherwise 5-stars: We saw it. We ignored it. We’re so glad we did!

Quaint and convenient lodging

Stayed here while I was attending the Middleburg Film Festival with a friend and it could not have been a better fit for both of us. The beds were nice and made up, the kitchen was extremely handy and Sandi was easy to contact whenever something needed to be cleared up. It's a perfect spot for a person or couple to stay at while exploring Middleburg.

Surprised listing wasn't what we saw and expected

Mold smell was unwelcome as a first impression opening the door. It eventually went away. Dog hair on bed and sofa was not clean. Shallow freestanding Bathroom shelf fell forward on me when I leaned back to reach for toilet paper holder in an awful location. Next time I leaned back, 3 huge towels fell on top of me - there was no place to hang them. Sink was not clean with scum on drain. Bathroom and corner shower are extremely small. Sliding barn door came off of hinge and had to be put back on track. The experience here was very frustrating. The cleaning fee should be included in price of the room - do I want to pay this much or not? overpriced due to unclean areas and lack of amenities. Window air conditioner with plug thru bottom of window let in cold air overnight. Sandy was defensive when we discussed our surprises and she told me I was difficult. She said next time we should stay at The Salamander. Her condescending comments were uncalled for. I read all reviews which showed one old rating at one star. Should have taken that as a warning. The kitchen is extremely small with no table to eat at except a very small table on grass outside. I couldn't find the silverware since it was on an open shelf with a piece of paper on top of it. Was it an English Cottage? No way, since we had visited the Cotswolds for 2 weeks and stayed in Cotswold Inns and Hotels. Was it OK? yes, location was good, that’s all. Would we stay there again? Definitely not!

About the host

Hosted by Sandi Young

The Ms. is an active/retired professional born in this area. Mr. Pegg (a Brit) was born in India to British parents, later living in England and Wales. He happily shares stories of his work in Africa where he was game warden of Uganda National Parks. Qualifications and love of wildlife would later lead him to become a safari guide in Kenya. In Middleburg Mr. Pegg owned Pegg Thoroughbred and is noted for the production of a Derby favorite - Bodemeister. Currently, both Mr. and Mrs. are active organic gardeners, campaign for wildlife and are actively involved in anti-poaching campaigns as well as a history in hospital fundraising and other fundraising projects. The summer campaign is against weeds which we hope our guests will overlook if a week when the weeds won. -- We do ask guests to turn lights off when not in use and to recycle. It will be our pleasure to welcome you.

Why they chose this property

Superb location - Hospitality - Very clean - Attention to detail - Friendly host/hostess and feeling of home away from home. We do everything possible to accommodate our guests.

What makes this property unique

LOCATION close to village of M'burg and all that surrounds area. Sprawling open laws and a meandering stream add to the ambience of this beautiful, private property -- where families have been raised and memories cataloged. During season - flower gardens invite nature including dozens of hummingbirds and butterflies. Hawks call to their mates as a fox sometimes strolls by. Fox hunt horns and the bay of hounds can often be heard in the distance. Fresh air fills lungs in this peaceful setting.
