This guest has given an 8 due to there being a bath tub in the accommodation which is clearly shown in the listing due to his serious mobility issues. I would advise all guests who have mobility issues and unable to use a standard bathtub with safety railing for stability to raise this with the owner prior to booking their accommodation.

If you plan staying several days for sightseeing The Barn beats staying in a motel. It is in a quiet location and is quirky! Kitchen is well equipped for those who prefer to prepare their own meals. Access to the delightful loft bedroom can be difficult for those who have mobility issues as the steps are very steep. The fireplace is a much welcome addition if you visit in the Winter. In all our stay was a memorable one!

Thanks for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed the eclectic unique decor, warm wood fire, cozy king loft bedroom, well equip chefs kitchen, outdoor fire, hot tub and all the other special extras we add to make your stay so memorable. We really appreciate you staying and hope you can make it back again soon :) The stairs to the loft are a particular space saving design with rails as advertised and we find the people who are here to climb mountains each day such as yourselves are agile enough to use them with ease as you did - well done!

Thanks so much for staying and we are very pleased you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the cozy wood fire, fire pit, hot tub outside and the king bed in the loft as requested given your especially tall frame. As advertised there are stairs to the loft and those who stay including yourselves found them easy to navigate. In the bathroom which is the size of a large ensuite aka 3m x 1.5m we have a vanity above the basin, table around the hand basin for use, entire top of the washing machine right near the bath/shower for use, a shelf near the hair dryer/toilet and also the shower caddy inside the shower recess so have included all the possible shelving that we feel the bathroom needs. We are glad you loved the cozy interior, spacious chefs kitchen with 5 burner stove and dishwasher, plus BBQ outside. Hope you can make it back again soon ;-)

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay in our quirky cottage and all of the amenities that we provide in it. When there are large downloads the Wi-Fi will slow down which we noticed happened during your stay. We do advise people not to do major downloads for that reason but glad that you had a lovely time. Hope to see you again :)

PERFECT PEACEFUL PLACE

This is the 3rd time we have stayed in this property and were so happy to see that it was available again after a recent refurbish. So quirky and comfortable with everything we could need for our stay. We love the hot tub and fire pit and the view of the night sky from right outside our door was wonderful. The trees and birds are amazing and we sleep so well. Cant wait to return thank you!

Delightful Winter Cabin Stay in Coonabarabran

Our first time visiting Coonabarabran and had an absolutely wonderful time staying in this cabin. Located on a property just outside of the main town, the cabin is very well equipped, we particularly liked the full sized kitchen. The pantry included some basics such as teas and coffee. The cabin has a main bedroom in a loft (people with mobility issues will find it difficult to access up the ladder/stairs) with a day bed in a sunroom that can be left set up, or a sofa bed in the lounge area. The cabin was lovely and warm our entire stay (July) thanks to the wood fired heater (wood is provided) and the host Mish made sure it was lit and warm for our arrival.Communication with host Mish was exceptional and Mish was always available to reach out to if needed (everything was good for us though)Phone reception for us was patchy (Telstra). Limited WiFi is provided at the property, but is not suitable for heavy downloads or video streaming.Overall we loved our stay in this cabin and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Coonabarabran. Thank you Mish!

Thanks for your review Terry. It was lovely having you and your family here. The wifi as explained has two and the specified one for the cottage is perfectly fine for video streaming we just asked people not to do major downloads because other people then can’t use it. We’re glad you loved the wood fires inside and out and also the hot tub too. We hope you can visit again one day 🙏

Peaceful cottage getaway

We loved our stay and would highly recommend this unexpected find!Mish, the host, was excellent with communication and thoughtfully prepared the cottage with little touches such as easter eggs for the kids.It was a very comfortable stay, the house well set up with a dishwasher, large fridge and gas oven/stovetop, as well as an outdoor bbq. The woodfire was easy to use and kept the place cosy overnight.Downstairs, the daybed and sofabed were good for the kids while we appreciated retreating up the stairs to the loft to fall asleep in a very comfortable bed. The cottage, being 4 mins drive from the main part of Coonabarabran, meant it was peaceful at night and lovely to wake up to birdsong and a curious rosella at the loft window.There was lots of colourful artwork and books, the kids enjoyed the board games and also the large garden...also befriending the horses next door. The cottage was large enough for four of us to be together and also had separate areas for downtime. It was less than 30 mins from Siding Spring observatory and the Warrumbungle national park, and took about 12mins to get to Donna the Astronomer's stargazing show.We left after four nights feeling like we'd had a relaxing change of pace from city life, but with all the comforts of home.

A lush peaceful setting with a lot of birdlife, established trees and also close to town if you want to go out for dinner and also the mountains. The stars of a night are so amazing from the garden and the peaceful nights are great for sleeping.
