Beautiful property and spacious rooms with lots of character and charm. Stayed with 10 friends for a wedding weekend away and everyone loved it. The fireplace in the lounge room was great for cozy late nights and the big dining table was perfect for breakfast together too - the piano was also a bit hit! Would love to come back in summer to enjoy the outdoor set up too. I had a bit of trouble making the remaining payment due to a glitch in the automated system but Fiona was able to arrange an alternative at short notice which we were very grateful for. Highly recommend for large groups!

So much character

Such a great character filled house and garden. Great for the train enthusiasts. The house was well set up. Some of us found the trains a bit loud but others loved it and didn’t hear them. Thanks again such a great place. Oh and tennis was fun!

beautiful old world charm. Perfect place for our family to come together and catch up. The ppty is 100yrs old but all the modern amenities were in perfect working order. The weather, unfortunately was the only thing that let us down on this trip... we will definately return

The house and garden are like something out of a children’s story - Nania or similar. Gorgeous character and the garden with tennis court and swings and beautiful trees for children to climb is magic. Our host was friendly and accomodating. Thank you. The trains are a thing - we got used to them during the day but they do sometimes go late at night and for those who want restful sleep at an early time in an evening it will be a problem. But if you love trains and are looking forward to staying up late - not likely to notice. Thank you - it served our family reunion around the stately dining table perfectly.

Great place to relax

York Cottage is a great place to stay and relax. The house is like a step back in time and so interesting. There is a lot of reading matter around, historical information and a miniature train track around the property. It is a great place to walk around and get lost in the surroundings. There is the rail track to the side of the property which trains run intermittently but when you walk around the property and the house it adds to the atmosphere. We had a minor problem with the hot water in one part of the house but there were 2 hot water systems so it did not end up being a big deal, and the property manager responded strait away to help with the issue.

Our family loved the old style accommodation and the rural aspect and space of this property. We all loved the period details of the wooden doors, fireplace and the glassed in dining area looking out into that wonderful garden. We come from a generational railway family and being so close to the train line didn't impact on our stay and we all loved the small railway details. The bedrooms all had lovely linen and were all comfortable. Whilst we realise this house is 100 years old we feel it needs a good spring clean and a bit of a refresh as the carpet in the lounge room is stained and dirty, the windows looking out to the back garden need cleaning Also it would be nice to have at least some tea and coffee making facilities as the only thing in the cupboard was extremely outdated spices, sauces and very old coffee which were all well past their used by date Even though there were instructions emailed prior to checking in could I suggest a folder with the information is provided including on the use of the TV Overall we enjoyed our weekend in the highlands and found the accommodation very close to great wineries, excellent restaurants and shopping .

Character and charm

My family and I loved our stay at York cottage. The sprawling old home had ample bedding for 3 generations of our family. (6 adults and 3 kids). The extensive grounds were beautiful and great for the kids. The tennis court was a real bonus, Inside the home, the dining room with it's glorious outlook and the lounge room with it's old world charm and roaring fire were highlights. On the downside. the bathrooms are in need of updating and not elderly friendly. Of most concern, the fence between the property and the railway track is in urgent need of replacement. We had to keep our eyes glued to our 6 year old autistic granddaughter whenever she strayed near that side of the property. It is dangerous. Please, please fix it.

Never even given the chance to arrive!

The summary that I would have for this property would only be directed towards the fact that our booking was cancelled on our party of 9 - 24 hours prior to our arrival without any prior notice, meaning that we were never even given the chance to arrive or even given the option of an alternative properly. This in turn completely crashed the 92nd birthday weekend for my grandmother who was looking forward to spending it with her family & made the interstate travel by some of our family members pointless. At this time of year - of course- last minute cancellations like these by the host mean that it is near impossible to find a replacement. Thanks Stays - We won’t be forgetting this one !

Charming but in need of some tlc

This historic house was private charming in many ways, and the kitchen, bathrooms and bedlinen/towels were clean. The cutlery, crockery, servingware and glassware were all lovely. However, we also found that there were dead flies all along the window ledges, the outdoor table was too dirty to use, all the windows and doors were covered in old cobwebs, and the tablecloth was grimy. We were also disappointed by the very old pots, pans and baking trays. Finally, we believe that the house description should be upfront that the property is right next to the railway line and that there are frequent passenger and freight trains. Aside from the noise throughout the day and night, we were very glad there were no children or pets on this trip, as there is no secure fencing between the property and the tracks. With a little upkeep and some care and attention, the house could be a lovely retreat within an easy distance of town and wineries. We have stayed in and around Bowral many times over several years, and this property cost more than we usually pay, but not the quality we expected.

Full of charm and old world character. Rustic.

4 very comfortable bedrooms for couples, and a fifth with 4 single beds. Large gardens to explore and a tennis court. Very close to train lines. Great for rail enthusiasts.
