Roslyn and Michael were a pleasure to host at our B&B.
They had a lovely springer spaniel who was very well behaved.
They left the B&B clean and tidy and would recommend them to other hosts.
Thanks for staying with us.

Lovely little cottage in beatiful garden setting
Whilst the hosts occupy the house on the property, they went away for the majority of our stay. The cottage is well appointed and the breakfast provisions were very much appreciated. The cottage is located only one block from Hamilton botanic Gardens.

Cute, quaint space with access to some beautiful spots in the grampians.
My partner and I stayed at Garland cottage while we did some hiking in the grampians. The weather was not good so it was nice to have a warm cosy space to return to. The heating works well and the bed is super comfortable! I loved that my little dog was welcomed and he enjoyed his playtime with the owner's dog :-)

A most relaxing and peaceful setting. Warm and friendly hosts. Great location. Dog was very welcome.
The location of the b & b was perfect for us. Lots of places to walk - the botanical garden, and river trail, and around the neighbourhood, close to town and great shopping. Gallery was superb. Plenty of interesting drives within the area. The cottage was small, but very tastefully decorated, cosy and had everything you needed. The wonderful garden and welcoming hosts meant we will be back. Bonus was, our pet was also welcome.

Absolutely gorgeous gardens. the accomodation had everything you could possibly need and more. It is perfect for a quiet getaway and a base to explore around Hamilton. Rosie and Jo were so lovely to talk to and no way intrusive. I found the exact space I needed after some long days visiting the hospital. Thank you Rosie and Jo oh and Hugo.😊🐾
