We were very impressed with the accomodation. Loved the thought that was put into the design, the welcome and hospitality was second to none. Loved the shower and bath and fire. We have stayed in lots of places around the state and this is by far our favourite. We will definitely be back! We would love to rate 9.5 stars if we could!!
Had a very relaxing stay in this gorgeous cottage, in a beautiful garden setting. It was hot when I arrived but cool inside due to the cottage being made of stone. Very comfortable and cosy with everything you need. Plenty of food and drinks if you want to stay inside but close to town if you want to venture out. The bed was very comfy and I had a great sleep. The shower wonderful and will definitely try the spa next time. Loved the verandah and sitting, reading and watching the birds and rabbits. Hope to stay longer next time! Thank you. Warm regards.
