We travel with our Labrador, so, to find such a dog friendly property as well as one so beautifully appointed, was a treat. The large yard is fully fenced (may not suit very small dogs) and the suggested on-property walks were fabulous. For the humans, very good amenities including outdoor areas. More light in the kitchen/living areas would be useful.

It was 40c on the afternoon we arrived, and it was fantastic to find that the aircon was on and the house cool inside. It is a beautiful location, far away from everything, and had everything we needed to feel at home.

A beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting. Just a short drive from Canowindra but into sheep and pasture country, away from people and noise. Janey and Peter are wonderful hosts and the cottage is well-equipped for a short (or longer) stay. Comfy bed, well-equipped kitchen, large TV with comfortable lounge seating. Beautiful surroundings and sunsets to savour. Highly recommended.

Lovely and quiet

Set on a working farm, the gorgeous cottage was cosy and comfortable. The evening stroll up the hill to see amazing sunsets was a highlight. Great place to unwind, take time out and relax.

An amazing location

The view from the veranda is welcoming. We stayed for seven days. If you want to venture further the towns of Forbes Cowra and Parkes are only a short drive away. We would recommend this accommodation.

Excellent relaxing stay

We loved our two night stay at Chaffcutters Cottage. Janey and Pete were great hosts. Excellent communication. The cottage was quaint and had everything we needed. Canowindra was just a short drive away. A very peaceful and relaxing stay. We will be back on our next road trip north.

A Gem Hidden in Plain Sight

From the moment we turned in to a well maintained gravel driveway my blood pressure dropped as we drove up to Chaffcutter cottage, and when we met the owners who welcomed us warmly and who had prepared everything for our enjoyment, we knew we were in for a relaxing, care-free break. The magnificent old Peppercorn tree shading the front garden and the lush green lawns surrounding the cottage provided the ideal areas for our Cavoodle to chase the ball - and the birds. Then, sitting on the verandah overlooking nearby hills and distant mountains and watching the sunset was the kind of scenery that makes you feel like sharing a glass of wine or three.
