The cottage was lovely. 2 living areas, 2 bathrooms and a very well equipped kitchen. The log fire was fabulous and already set by the lovely hosts. We just had to light it and keep adding wood. It also had a great heating system throughout the cottage. The location was also good - not too far from town at all. Would highly recommend the Lake Cottage

We had a three night stay at this cozy cottage. Great location close to the main street and on the edge of Lake Daylesford, with a fabulous view of the lake from the balcony. All the rooms wereindividually and thoughtfully decorated, with comfortable beds, artwork and fresh flowers. Some nice touches including lots of books to read (in a reading/sun room) and a collection of DVDs. The hosts were very accommodating with great communication, and the check-in process was super easy
