Incredible stay

I stayed at Astley Cottage with my partner for the weekend. The cottage was perfect, with gorgeous decor, an amazing view and everything we needed. Ellie and Kevin were lovely hosts and made sure our stay was perfect. We’ll definitely be rebooking if/when we visit the area again.

Nice cottage

Neat, clean cottage. Not quite as we expected- “complimentary wine” must be a figure of speech as there wasn’t any. “Netflix” must mean purchase your own. Wifi worked fine. We didn’t find the bed very comfortable, pillows too big and firm for me, had to use a couch cushion instead. Spa takes half a day to drain, no kidding. Private spot, nice garden, host left us to ourselves

October 2024 stay

The cottage was very comfortable with everything you could want or need. As we are an over 70 couple the path to the cottage was a bit of a challenge with our luggage & the shower is over a spa bath, which could be an issue. We were ok with this at present, however a few years on could be a problem. The host was very friendly & helpful.

Steep

Astley cottage is lovely. Very cosy and warm. Excellent views. However, the cottage is located at the bottom of the owner's property, and is a very steep walk down an uneven flight of stairs with no handrail. This is unfortunately not mentioned anywhere when booking the property. The stairs are extremely off-putting, we even avoided going out so we didn't have to use them. Definitely not a stay for those with a disability.

First timers

It was a perfect little place, so cosy, if your looking for a quiet get away, this is the place, the bed is devine, lovely to have a king in a little cottage, the fire place was easy to work, and just gave the cottage a beautiful feel, and there was an aircon if you needed it, but with the fire going you really didn’t need it. The spa was a bonus for sure. Quiet, so quiet and peaceful, being the only cottage it is your own private space. Yummy treats for us upon arrival, and Kevin was such a delight, and if we needed anything both he and Ellie were on the end of the phone. Definitely recommend and will be going back.

Warm, cosy and well equipped

After being helped with our bags down the stairs by Kevin, we felt immediately at home in our snug little cottage. There were many thoughtful touches and inclusions in the equipment provided, including a jug and several trays. A delicious home made chocolate slice was also provided, typical of the welcoming spirit of Astley Cottage. Views were of the lovely olive greens of the great Australian bush,

A little corner of paradise

The cottage is perched halfway up a hill, so you wake up in the trees canopy. The house is compact, but the space is well organized. Contrarily to most places we've been, the sitting in the living area is comfortable (even reclining chairs!), the television is modern and of good size. The bathroom is large with a shower over the spa. We appreciated the king size bed. Because Kevin used to be a chef, we were welcomed with delicious freshly baked muffins and Eileen was able to rescue us quickly when we inadvertently locked ourselves out of the cottage.
