A five-room cottage · since 1908

The English garden at the edge of the village.

A small, family-run bed and breakfast on a half-acre of azalea, hollyhock and rambling rose. Five quiet rooms. A long breakfast table. No keycards, no front desk, no commission to a third party.

Why book direct

Skip the platforms — and the surcharge.

The big booking sites take fifteen to twenty percent of every reservation. We pass that back to you, in the form of a cheaper room, a glass of sparkling on arrival, and an innkeeper who actually answers the phone before noon.

Booking with us is the only way to request the loft, the late breakfast, or the dog bed. No third party can offer the things that make Azalea Cottage what it is.

Five guest rooms

Each named for the flower outside its window.

No two rooms are alike. Three look out across the back garden, two onto the lane. All five have antique linens, a deep tub, and a view that keeps people booking the same room year after year.

All five rooms in detail

A long table at nine

Breakfast served at one long table in the back garden.

Eggs from the four hens out back. Bread from the bakery on Fenley Street, delivered still warm. Jam from this year's Damson plums. Coffee from a roaster in Charleston who blends a custom Azalea breakfast.

Three courses, one seating, nine o'clock — though we'll bring a tray to your room if you'd rather not.

Full breakfast rotation

Served9 a.m. sharp.
Or in your room.

Small things, all included

The cottage thinks of everything.

Things we believe shouldn't be a la carte at a five-room cottage: a fire, a soak, a strong wifi signal, and someone who knows the village.

Wood-fire parlor

Lit nightly Oct–Apr. Decanters of port, sherry, and a strong tea trolley.

Clawfoot tubs

Three of the five rooms have deep porcelain tubs. House lavender bath salt provided.

Half-acre gardens

Mapped & labeled. A guest can pick up to a small bouquet a stay.

Dog welcome

One well-mannered dog per room. Bed, bowl & biscuits supplied. $25 cleaning.

★★★★★

"We came for one night and rebooked for three. The Wisteria is a small miracle and Margaret's eggs ought to be on a stamp."

Helen & TomBoston, Mass.

★★★★★

"Booked direct, paid less than the booking sites listed it for, and got a glass of fizz in the garden at four. Why does anyone book any other way."

Priya R.Atlanta, Ga.

★★★★★

"Took the whole cottage for our anniversary weekend. All five rooms, the garden, and Margaret's blackberry hotcakes. The best money we have ever spent."

Walter B.Charleston, S.C.

A note from Margaret

"My husband and I have run the cottage since the year our second was born — that's eighteen seasons now. We answer the phone, we mind the eggs, and we keep the rooms ourselves. There is no front desk. Please come."
