“Warm and cosy”
The cottage is well equipped and lovely and warm. Plenty of cutlery and crockery, so no running out because things are in the dishwasher. The location is good although it is not super close to the main street. It is, however, a lovely walk to the lake situated at the end of the street. Mills Markets is across the road and it's easy to spend a couple of hours browsing through the remarkable number of stalls.

“Great little cottage in an awesome spot. Excellent host communication.”
Excellent communication, location, great value for money. Has everything you need for a short or long stay. Garden out the front is awesome in the afternoon. Coffee pods and choccys were a lovely touch. Will be back.

“We had 3 nights and enjoyed every minute of them.”
The house is in an excellent location to all ammenities its only a few minutes drive or 10 minute walk to the town centre, the lake, and other markets. It is fully fenced so our mini schnauzer could roam free outside without worry. Whilst it is an older property it seemed to be in good condition and was comfortable.

Breakfast wasn't available. But items were there for use such as Vegemite and breakfast condiments. Location was a bonus to town. Lovely gardens, room for the dog to play outside. Value for money.

“Perfect for a couple or small family”
This is an old style no-frills cottage. Everything you might need for a short stay had been provided. The front yard is small but secure and cosy. Looks like the property has been well-maintained. The location is relatively quiet.

“Great value for money. Will stay again.”
Location was excellent. We have 2 dogs and it was possible to walk to Daylesford lake from the property (straight down a very quiet road). The property also had a small enclosed garden that was excellent for the dogs. My wife and I stayed with the 2 dogs. Also had excellent Netflix and Stan services and another pull out bed to sleep 2 more if required.

“Quaint & Comfortable Cottage in Daylesford”
Location was perfect as I have a car. A 5 minute walk to The Mill and Springs. The fireplace is a standout feature. I really enjoyed sitting on the balcony enjoying my meals and watching the bird life. The cottage is very quaint and homely. The owners, Anthony and Andrew are extremely helpful and prompt in attending to any concerns. The cd player came in handy. I would love to spend a few more days here.
