Dec 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning gardens We loved the house, but the gardens absolutely blew us away, so lovely to be outside amongst the garden beds and mature trees. That goes for the whole of Daylesford too, such awesome planning has gone into the beautification of the town. ##### Alice H. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tanya B. Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy Charming Cottage Sweet, cosy and comfortable... this cottage was a lovely quiet spot for a weekend away. With an open fire and being well heated, even cold, wet and windy weather didn't detract from the lovely stay in this charming little cottage. Thank you! ##### Tanya B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nataliya B. May 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy space, but very cold in winter This house was a perfect space for our little gateway. Incredibly clean, tidy and cosy. One of the downsides is that it was freezing cold, even with a heater running the whole day, it was quite uncomfortable. Another minus is that the fireplace isn't operational... A massive no-no for our future stay in Daylesford in wintertime. Otherwise, it is a wonderful space and we really enjoyed the stay! ##### Nataliya B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hannah M.
