I was in town for a family memorial service and this could not have been a better place to stay. I had grown up in Atherton and loved the vibe of The Cottages. The staff were incredibly loving and helpful. Special shout-out to the 3am shift because I stayed on east coast time and was up having coffee in the wee hours. There are lovely outdoor seating spaces, the breakfast was a treat but really it’s the people and the vibe that made it feel very much like coming home. I don’t know when it ever I’ll be back but if I do, this is exactly where I’m staying. 💓
