Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased you had such a positive experience at Jill’s. It’s great to hear you found the bedding comfortable and enjoyed the convenient location near the main street. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a most enjoyable time at Jill's Daylesford cottage - it is a cosy cottage conveniently located within a short walk to town, and to the lake, and an separate adjoining bedroom/bathroom. We found the communication and check-in process to be excellent, and Kirstie responded promptly to our Qs and helped with an early check-in, And, our greyhound felt completely at home as well :)

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage cosy and conveniently located. It’s great to know the separate bedroom and bathroom layout worked well for you, and that the check-in process was smooth. We’re especially happy your greyhound felt right at home too - we love welcoming furry guests! Hope to host you again in Daylesford sometime soon.
