Customer Reviews

NOT Cottages!

If you are looking for a book on "cottages" - this book is not for you. Most of the homes are over 2,000 sq. ft. with some close to 3,000 sq. ft. When I think of cottages, I assume they are under 2,000 sq. ft. If you just want to see some fairly unique floors plans (many with stairs) then you might enjoy this book. Simply not what I was looking for!

Beautifully Illustrated

If you're looking for a plan for your future home in the coastal cottage style, this is definitely a book to start with. But it spoils the process of researching other sources, because the majority don't compare with the quality of presentation. No doubt, this is the best illustrated of any I've seen so far. It doesn't contain a huge number of plans, but they do address this segment of home design right on target.
