Relaxing stay as Sausalito

Enjoyed our 3 nights in Daylesford with our dog. The cottage was cosy, clean and very conveniently located. The garden was lovely and spacious. Lots of heating options in every space throughout the house made it a very comfortable stay.

A few days away

Really enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and well anppointed. Even a bottle of wine offered to enjoy during our stay. Great position. We walked to the pub for dinner and to the market at the train station. Needed to drive to the Main Street but it wasn’t far. Made a few meals at home and found everything we could need in the kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Cosy, retro home with everything you need

A very comfortable, homely place to stay. Beds were super clean and comfortable, fitted with electric blankets for colder nights. The bathroom has been renovated and is a refreshing green with good water pressure. Kitchen is cute and equipped with everything you need to put a meal together. Big fridge and freezer. 5 mins walk to the Farmers Arms and 10 mins to the market and Cliffy's cafe. Recommend driving into town, it's just that little bit out of the way, but possible with 20 mins in each direction. Access is easy though! Dogs enjoyed the garden.
