Sep 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great family weekend stay. Fantastic back yard for the dogs and toddler friendly. Clean and comfortable with all the home comforts. Only complaint that there was only enough wood for the Coonara for the first night which was disappointing. ##### Jacquie M.

Feb 25, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cottage but overpriced Cottage is lovely and I'm a nice peaceful area but at the price we paid per night you would expect some nicer touches. I think the price included an excessive cleaning fee but the cottage wasn't very clean, the bathrub was dirty and we found a cockroach. One of the bins hadn't been emptied from a previous guest. The beds were super hard, I ended up with a bad back which really ruined our holiday and there were other things that just felt really tight. Like no coffee and only two rolls of toilet paper. We also had to bring our own linen and towels because they wanted to charge an extra fee for that. If you're charging so much a night youd expect that to be included in the price. Overall probably wouldn't book again even if it was cheaper purely because of the bed. ##### Melissa R. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Siobhan M.
