Glen Morris, Wuthering Heights ~ Dog friendly

Glen Morris, Wuthering Heights ~ Dog friendly

10/10 Excellent
"Glen Morris is a lovely little cottage in a beautiful location. It was a very wet and chilly weekend with the fire and cosy cottage feel very welcome. We certainly used the available firewood and enjoyed the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the surrounds and proximity to all that the Clare Valley has to offer. As dog friendly accommodation it was good with the small enclosed back courtyard great for Nala to get to know her surroundings in safety. Walks around the property were lovely and we will certainly look to return hopefully at a time with more conducive weather. Overall a lovely rustic cottage in a wonderful location and easy access to all of Clare's charms."

Tickles Cottage in a beautiful Rural Setting

10/10 Excellent
"Such a lovely cottage in the best place, Mintaro. If you want peace and quiet, gorgeous surroundings this cottage is perfect. Lots of room and smells for my dog to explore. The house was so warm once we got the fire going, although there was other heating options if you wanted. The cottage was both welcoming and cosy. A very short distance to Mintaro and so close to the wineries of the Clare region. Communication with the host was very good. The house was spotless. Will definitely stay again."

"Our group of 6 had a lovely stay in Lottie's Cottage. Located in an excellent spot for exploring the local wineries and a few minutes walk to the main street of Clare. The cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly need in the way of kitchen utensils, toiletry supplies or laundry needs - everything has been thought of and presented neatly and organised. The cottage has been stylishly decorated with antique and vintage items, I would definitely recommend a stay here."
