    The past is beckoning you to come and enjoy a charming and romantic atmosphere in a quaint English cottage surrounded by a lush, old-fashioned award winning garden. A delicious full breakfast served on fine china each morning at 8:30, typical fare with savories and sweets is quiche, fresh fruit, home-baked breads, juice smoothies, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and hot cider. Lovely antique Victorian furnishings, handmade vintage linens dripping with lace and embroidery welcome you to step back in time and enjoy the elegant and gracious pleasures of a bygone era. Four antique-filled romantic bedchambers await you at the top of an inviting winding staircase.

    If you are going to Cedar City for the Shakespeare Festival, plan on staying at the Garden Cottage. Located just diagonally across the street from the Randall Theatre, it is a short walk to all Festival activities. And a short walk to downtown also gives some excellent restaurants. And the breakfasts at the Cottage are absolutely wonderful.


    Nothing but the best at the Garden Cottage!

    What a romantic hideaway! The rooms are lovely and scrupulously clean. The hosts are warm, friendly, and generous. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We left wishing we could stay for the rest of the week!

    I and my sister stayed at the Garden Cottage for a couple days "girls trip". It was pre-season, so the flowers were not yet all in bloom, but it was still really, really beautiful. The cottage is like something from Anne of Green Gables, and the garden is peaceful and serene. It's about a block from Main Street, so we walked to the coffee shop and did some antiquing. Diana's breakfasts are awesome (the muffins are the best) so much attention to detail, even down to frosting rosettes on the sugar cubes. When we left, it felt as if we had made new friends. I think i've found my "regular" place in Cedar City.

    My husband and I love to go in the fall to the Shakespearean Festival in Cedar City. The plays are always very good. This year we stayed at the darling Garden Cottage. Even in October and in the rain the garden was charming. We stayed in the Morning Glory Room on the ground floor with its own entrance and patio. I don't need TV. It's fun to get away and enjoy a comfortable bed in a room furnished with beautiful antiques and dodads. The best part was the breakfast at 8:30 AM. Great coffee and juice and fruit cup and quiche and apple bread pudding. Our hosts, Diana and Gary are very accommodating. For a fall scenic drive you can't beat highway 12 through the canyon and beyond to Bryce National Park. The colors were dazzling!

    Our overnight, just passing through, stay was such a treat. First, we were a late arrival, Gary cheerfully met us at the door. The Simkins' home, both inside and out is a haven of charm and warmth. The breakfast was outstanding--the food and the company. The other guests were regulars from SLC--our destination. We had such a great visit with them and Diana and Gary. We are hoping to go back next year when we can spend more time and take in the Shakespeare Festival. I have been to twenty or so B&Bs--this one would be in the top three. I really enjoy having a high level of interaction with the hosts; Gary and Diana rate at the top of my list in this department.
