Escape to the Poconos: Werry's Cottages - Cozy Cabins & Pub Await!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're not just reviewing Werry's Cottages, we're living it. I just clawed my way back from the Poconos, and let me tell you, escaping to Werry's is more than just a weekend getaway. It's a whole vibe. And trust me, I've got opinions. Buckle up, because this is gonna be a wild ride (and hopefully, I'll remember all the important details… my brain is still running on Poconos time).
The Vibe Check: Accessibility, Safety, and Sanity (or Lack Thereof)
First things first, the accessibility. I didn't personally need specific accessibility features, but I did notice they listed "Facilities for disabled guests" and "Elevator". Good signs! You know, inclusivity is always a win. They’re also claiming things like "Check-in/out [private]" and "Contactless check-in/out," which, in this age of COVID anxiety, is a massive sigh of relief. Let's be real, I spent the entire trip clutching hand sanitizer like it was a winning lottery ticket. They're boasting about "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," and even "Room sanitization opt-out available." Honestly? Bravo Werry's. Bravo. I could actually breathe.
And the cleanliness and safety? Okay, so the "CCTV in common areas" and "Fire extinguisher" stuff is standard, ya know? But they went a step further, emphasizing all the safety precautions in place. The "Room sanitization opt-out" is a super thoughtful touch. Plus, the staff is supposedly "trained in safety protocol". The "First aid kit" is an absolute must. I didn't need it, but I'm glad it's there. You just feel cared for.
Rooms: Cozy Cabins and Creature Comforts (or My Quest for the Perfect Cup of Coffee)
The description mentions "Cozy Cabins," and that’s spot on. Think rustic charm meets modern convenience. We're talking "Air conditioning," which is clutch in the summer, and "Wi-Fi [free]" (thank god, because I needed to Instagram everything). "Complimentary tea" and a "Coffee/tea maker" – crucial! I'm a coffee fiend. I checked out the "Mini bar", but it was a bit sparse for my taste. I’m not a huge fan of "Mirror", but it's there. The "Smoke detector" and "Smoke alarms" are nice to see.
The "Desk" and "Laptop workspace" meant I could pretend to do a little work, but let's be honest, I mostly just wanted to relax. The "Seating area" was perfect for cuddling up with a book (or, let’s be real, scrolling endlessly on my phone). The "Separate shower/bathtub" situation was a definite bonus. I'm a shower person, personally, but my significant other loved the tub. "Bathrobes" and "Slippers" are little luxuries that make a difference. Plus, the "Free bottled water" was a godsend after a hike! The "Additional toilet" was also a godsend.
Food, Glorious Food (and Occasional Regrets)
Alright, let's talk grub. This is where Werry's really shines (and where I may or may not have overindulged). They’ve got a Pub! And that's a big part of the "Cozy Cabins & Pub Await!" promise. They’re rocking a "Bar" and a "Poolside bar" (which I didn’t even know I needed until I saw that view).
The description highlights "Breakfast [buffet]", "Asian breakfast," "Western breakfast," "Breakfast takeaway service," and even "Breakfast in room." I tried the buffet. It was decent, standard hotel fare with "Coffee/tea in restaurant". They also have "A la carte in restaurant," which sounded more my speed, but I was too lazy, honestly. They also have "Restaurants" for dinner, which provides "International cuisine in restaurant," and "Western cuisine in restaurant".
They were also pretty good at "Alternative meal arrangement", which is nice for those picky eaters. In the end, I ended up just ordering pizza from one of the "Restaurants". (Yes, I know. Sophistication is not my strong suit.) But hey, those "Happy hour" deals eased the guilt, right? Plus, "Bottle of water" is nice to see.
Things to Do (or, How I Attempted to Become a Nature Enthusiast)
So, what do you actually do in the Poconos? Well, Werry's has you covered. "Things to do" are endless. I'm talking "Fitness center", "Gym/fitness", "Swimming pool [outdoor]", "Sauna", "Spa", and "Spa/sauna." I was feeling ambitious so I did a thing called "Body scrub". I spent a good hour in the "Steamroom". I went for a "Pool with view". Which I'm gonna rave about because I was truly in awe of that thing. I spent half the day lounging.
Outside of the hotel, you're in prime hiking territory. You can find "Bicycle parking" in case you are keen on a biking trail. I tried, God, I tried to be outdoorsy, but I'm more of a "Netflix and chill" kind of gal.
The Quirky Bits and the Downright Wonderful
Okay, here's the lowdown. The check-in process was smooth. But the best part of the whole trip? Hands down, the pool. The view from the pool. I swear, I could have stayed there all day. It was that good.
The main issue I had: the "Internet access – wireless". The WiFi signal could be spotty at times but nothing I couldn't fix with a quick reboot on my phone.
The Verdict: Should You Escape to Werry's?
Absolutely! If you're looking for a relaxed, comfortable getaway with a touch of quirkiness, Werry's Cottages is a winner. It's clean, safe, and offers a good mix of amenities. The pub is a definite highlight, and the pool… well, let's just say I’m already planning my next escape.

Werry's Cottages Odyssey: A Guide to the Gloriously Chaotic
Day 1: Arrival and Immediate Regret (Just Kidding… Maybe)
- 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM: The Great Pilgrimage Inward. Arrive at Werry's. The pictures online looked… cozy. Let's just say the reality is… real. The air outside smells vaguely of pine and desperation. I grab my bags from the car, which already has a light coating of pollen. God, I hate pollen. * Anecdote: Driving up, I swore I saw a deer wearing sunglasses. Probably just the sun messing with me. Or the wine from last night. * Imperfection: Forgot the phone charger! Already calculating how much screen time I have left. This is going to be a disaster. * Reaction: Okay, first impressions… the "cottage" is more like a… well, it's a thing. It has a roof, four walls, and a general aura of "lived-in." Hope the bedbugs are on vacation. (Just kidding, I hope.)
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Cottage Inspection & Bargaining with the Gods of WiFi. Unpack. Attempt to connect to WiFi. Fail spectacularly. Pace around the room, muttering. Consider sacrificing a small, inanimate object to appease the internet gods. * Quirky Observation: The curtains are straight out of a 1970s time capsule. Floral, beige, and probably stained with the ghosts of forgotten continental breakfasts. * Rambling Start: You know, they say getting away from it all is good for the soul. Maybe it is. Or maybe I’m just trapped in a beige box with questionable internet service. Either way, at least I have snacks. (Which reminds me… where are my snacks?)
- 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Attempted Chillaxation and the Peril of "Relaxing." Find the remote. Wrestle with the archaic TV. Discover 90% of the channels are commercials. Begin an internal debate about whether staying in the cottage is a blessing or a curse. * Emotional Reaction: Actually, the commercials make me feel something. Longing? Yearning? Whatever it is, it's strong. And I'm craving chips.
- 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM: The Quest for Sustenance (and Maybe a Beer). Head over to that pub part of Werry's. Pray it's better than the WiFi. Scout out the menu. Make a decision, then immediately change my mind. Order something. Regret the order. * Opinion: The pub better have GOOD beer. After the cottage, I deserve a good beer. And maybe fries. And maybe some existential validation.
- 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Dinner, Drinks, and the Unavoidable "What Am I Doing With My Life?" Session. Eat, drink, and people-watch. Observe the locals. Wonder if they know something I don't. Probably. Stare into the abyss of my beer and contemplate the meaning of it all. * Messy Structure: See, that's the thing about travel. It forces you to confront yourself. Sometimes that’s good. Other times… well, pass the chips. * Stronger Emotional Reaction: The beer is good! This is a vast improvement. I'm also pretty sure I just saw a couple arguing. That makes me feel… better? (Maybe a little masochistic, but hey, at least I'm not alone in the existential dread.)
- 10:00 PM - Bedtime: Return to the Beige Box. Attempt Reading. Fail. Fall Asleep, Probably Staring at the Ceiling. * Opinionated Language: The bed better be comfy. Comfort is key in these situations. Also, the sheets better actually be clean.
Day 2: Exploring the Surroundings (or, Procrastinating in a Scenic Way)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: The Breakfast Gamble. Assuming there's "breakfast" - pray the motel offers some form of caffeine. If not, the nearest gas station beckons.
- 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Attempting to "Explore." Drive around the area aimlessly for an hour, feeling lost and directionless. Think about visiting some actual attractions, like the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area. * Quirky Observation: Everywhere you look, there's a sign for "antique shops". Is this what my life has come to? Antique shops? * Rambling Start: I'm officially off-script. I’m tired of all this pressure to "see the sights". Maybe I'll just stay here, in my little beige box, and become one with the dust bunnies.
- 12:00- 1:00 PM: Lunch Find a local diner. Order a burger. Marvel at the simplicity of it all.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: The Water Gap Debacle (or, the Beauty of Giving Up). Head to the Water Gap. Get stuck in traffic. Decide to go back to the motel. Decide to go back to the pub. Start the car and return to the motel.
- Anecdote: I got about halfway to the Water Gap when I realized I was staring at the road like a zombie. Nope.
- 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM: The Ultimate Act of Self-Care – Napping.
- 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM: Dinner Back At The Pub because, well, it's convenient, and frankly, I'm tired. Repeat day 1 food order, because, consistency.
- 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Pub Night II - The Quest for Connection (or, Talking to Strangers) Strike up a conversation with someone at the bar. Regret it. Then actually have a good time. Maybe.
- Stronger Emotional Reaction: The bartender is an actual person! We talked about, I don't know, movies. And life. And it was good. I'm not sure it was cathartic, but at least i'm not alone in the abyss.
- 9:00 PM - Bedtime : The Embrace of the Absurdity. Back to the cottage. The inevitable staring at the ceiling. The realization that it's all going to be okay. Maybe.
Day 3: Departure… and the Longing to Return (Maybe?)
- 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM: The Final Breakfast. Another attempt at the breakfast. Will it be a greasy, soul-crushing affair? Or a surprisingly decent start to the day? Tune in to find out!
- 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM: Packing and the Existential Weight of Possessions. Packing. Contemplating the items I brought. Wondering, "Did I really need all of this?" The answer is almost always "no."
- 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Check-Out and (Brief) Farewell. Check out. Say goodbye to the beige box. Promise myself I will never forget this experience. (I probably will.)
- 11:00 AM - Departure: The Long Drive Home and the Aftermath. Start the journey back. Reflect on the trip. Decide it was a disaster. Decide it was the best trip ever. Decide it was both. And then decide you need a vacation from your vacation.
Post-Trip Notes:
- The cottage: It was a place. It had a bed. It had a roof. It was… something.
- The pub: Decent beer. Solid fries. (Maybe a little loud.)
- The area: Full of quirky shops and history. Probably worth exploring… eventually.
- Me: More or less intact. Maybe a little more cynical. Probably in need of a spa day.
So there you have it, my friend. Your guide to the chaos that is Werry's Cottages. Go forth, embrace the mess, and remember: the journey, however messy, is always the trip. Good luck. You'll need it. And if you see a deer wearing sunglasses, let me know.

Escape to the Poconos: Werry's Cottages - The Real Deal FAQ (and Rants!)
Okay, so, Werry's Cottages... Are they actually *cozy* cozy? Like, REAL cozy? Because I need cozy. My soul craves it.
Alright, picture this: you're driving up, already stressed from the city, the kids are screaming, the GPS decided to route you through a cow pasture (true story, btw). Then you pull up to Werry's, and BAM. It's... well, it's not a palace. Let's be clear. But it *feels* cozy. Like, the kind of cozy where you can immediately, practically *smell* the stress melting away. My first cabin (ahem, *cottage*) at Werry's? The "Bear's Den." Adorable on the outside, slightly questionable (in a charming way) on the inside. The furniture? Definitely seen some action. But the fireplace? FIRE, baby! It's the kind of cozy where you don't care if the grout's a little... rustic. You're in the Poconos, for crying out loud! You're supposed to be okay with a little imperfection. Cozy? Yeah. Authentically, wonderfully cozy. Now, if you're expecting luxury, you're looking at the wrong place. But if you're looking for a warm hug in a cabin? Nailed it. Just... bring extra blankets. You know, in case the 'rustic' charm translates to a drafty window.
The Pub! I saw the word "pub." Tell me about the pub! Is it, like, a *real* pub? Do they have proper pints? And, frankly, do they have good food, or is it just bar food?
The pub... ohhh, the pub. Okay, so it's not Ye Olde English Tavern, alright? It's more like a friendly, local watering hole that happens to be attached to some charming cabins. And that's GREAT. Pints? Yep. They do pints. Imported stuff, domestic stuff, the whole shebang. The food? Okay, here's the thing: it's not gourmet. But it's *good*. Like, really good, stick-to-your-ribs, after a day of hiking, cold beer-and-a-burger GOOD. They do a killer burger. Seriously, I dream about that burger. They do a mean Shepherd's Pie (comfort food!). And the staff? Friendly as heck. They remember you from the day before. Or, if you're like me, they remember you from the *hour* before. Look, it's not a Michelin-star experience, but it's precisely what you need after a day battling the elements or wrangling small children (or both, which, let's be honest, is most of us). It's a pub. It’s the perfect ending to a day. Seriously, plan your trip around the pub.
Are the cabins pet-friendly? Because my furry best friend *needs* to escape to the Poconos.
Yes! *Thank goodness!* Because a vacation without my dog, Buster, is… well, it's just not a vacation. Werry's *mostly* welcomes furry friends. Always double-check the specific cabin you are booking, because, you know, rules and stuff. But generally, YES! Which is a huge win. Just, you know, clean up after your dog. And be aware of other guests. I saw a REALLY grumpy lady once who CLEARLY didn’t appreciate my dog’s enthusiastic greeting. Lesson learned. Keep your pup under control and be respectful. Because if we lose pet-friendly cabins, I'm going to cry. A lot.
What's the deal with the amenities? Do they have Wi-Fi? Is there a TV? Do I *have* to disconnect?
Ah, the great digital dilemma! Yes, they *mostly* have Wi-Fi. It's… functional. Think rural internet. It's not blazing fast, but it's enough to check emails (if you must) or stream a movie (if the kids are driving you bananas). The TV situation? Generally yes, but who cares? Get away from the TV! Take a hike! Get a beer at the pub! Enjoy the fresh air! (Unless, of course, it's raining. Then... TV's not a bad idea). I always attempt to disconnect. I really DO. But I’ll admit, sometimes, I’m sneakily scrolling through my phone in the dead of night, pretending to be asleep, because... well, modern life, right? The point is, the vibe at Werry's leans towards *embracing* nature and relaxation. Take advantage of it. Leave the digital world behind (mostly). Your sanity will thank you.
Okay, let's get down to brass tacks. Are the cabins clean? I'm not expecting sterile, but I don't want to be battling dust bunnies, either.
Clean? Clean is a relative term, my friend. Let's just say they aren't sterile operating rooms. But they are *clean enough*. Look, they're cabins in the woods. Things happen. Dust bunnies might occasionally make an appearance (especially if you're in a cabin with a fireplace). Spiderwebs? Maybe a stray one or two. (I'm not a fan of those, truth be told). But, generally speaking, they're cleaned between guests. I've never had a truly awful experience, and I'm fairly germophobic. So, that's saying something. Again, manage your expectations: it's not a luxury hotel. But it IS a comfortable, clean (enough) place to relax and enjoy the Poconos. And, honestly, a little "lived-in" feel can be part of the charm. Just bring some Clorox wipes, you know, for your own peace of mind (I always do).
Are there things to do *besides* drinking at the pub? I mean, I like a good pint, but I can't spend my entire vacation there (sadly).
Hahaha! Excellent question! Yes, YES, there are things to do *besides* drinking at the pub (although, let's be honest, it's really handy). The Poconos are PACKED with stuff to do. Hiking trails abound. Seriously, lace up those boots. Waterfalls. Lakes. Fishing. (I, personally, am terrible at fishing, but some people love it.) Skiing in the winter. Boating in the summer. Shopping at the local antique shops(I always stumble upon something amazing and usually overpriced). You can even go white-water rafting! (Which I haven't done, because I'm a wimp.) The point is, you can be as active or as lazy as you want. It's a choose-your-own-adventure kind of place. My advice? Embrace the outdoors. Get some fresh air. And then, after a long day of activity, go back to the pub and get yourself another pint. YouUrban Hotel Search
