Quaint little cottage

Brookside Cottage proved to be a great spot to unwind for a few days - central to where we needed to be, but quite private as well - would definitely stay there again.

Dunedin at Christmas

Nice place, not too far from town (though not really walkable). A pretty garden with lots of flowers, birds and bumblebees, and the constant sound of the brook underneath. The only drawback is the close proximity to the road, which is rather busy, and a bit noisy if you’re a light sleeper.

Great little cottage

We enjoyed our stay. We arrived on one of Dunedin's coldest days, but once we got the fire and heat pump going everything warmed up. There were heaps of blankets for the beds and cosy flannel sheets. The kitchen is a good size and really well equipped. The owner was good to deal with.

Lovely Cottage

Charming cottage - clean and well appointed. A little bit chilly and blinds were a bit of struggle for my fat thumbs, but given the heart of winter and with a heat pump all perfectly reasonable. Would certainly consider for future trips.

March stay

We enjoyed staying in this character cottage with had a lovely garden setting and antiques. Although house bit cold as close to hill, everything was provided to keep us warm throughout our stay-wood for fire, lots of blankets , heat pump ,and hot water bottles. Barry kept us informed about some roadworks occurring outside house, and responded quickly when I needed to discuss this further with him on arrival. Thanks Barry.
