Average accommodation, the bathroom needs a deep clean. Lots of mould and dust. The mattress is very hard. The grounds are uncared for, lots of weeds. The cottage is very cluttered. Kathy was friendly and helpful when we couldn't work the TV.

I'm glad you enjoyed the location but I'm not sure what you mean by "impersonal". We provide a range of teas, coffee, milk and toiletries. All linen is supplied as well as a fully equipped kitchenette. Otherwise it is as in the photos so I'm not sure what you would need to feel welcome. Please let me know how we could have improved your experience. Kathy

We're happy you enjoyed your stay. We are also happy to be able to supply dog friendly accommodation. And yes it has been very hot over the last few days (30 Cels). We do supply a fan for this purpose plus the cottage is shaded by mature trees. Thanks again for staying with us!

There is no fencing but I was staying only one night so I was able to make it work for my dog. Too much stuff in such a small space and it smelled odd. I am not sure it was value for the money.

Not sure it’s right to advertise pet-friendly property as fully fenced if driveway gate has to stay open for other guests at the back of the lot. However, the property manager was helpful and gave me a heads-up when the other guests left so I was able to close the gate and let my dogs roam for part of the time. Everything else about the stay was fine. Thank you!

Pet friendly means that you can bring your pets with you. We do not encourage guests to leave their animals unattended. You are also welcome to shut the gate but it is your responsibility to check if it is shut before you unleash your pets.
