We had a wonderful stay at Astley Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the location. It was the perfect place to unwind, especially with the cosy fireplace and relaxing spa, which made our winter getaway feel extra special. We also loved that the cottage was pet friendly, allowing our dog Baxter to join us on our holiday. The combination of comfort, charm and beautiful surroundings made for a truly memorable stay. We would happily return and highly recommend Astley Cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in Daylesford.
