“I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would be more than happy to stay there again.”
I received a warm welcome from the hosts Brett and Sally. The separate studio cottage was comfortable,clean and well equipped with ample supplies for a nice DIY breakfast. Surrounded by a beautiful garden, it was private and very peaceful. The location is convenient for a range of tourist attractions which are within driving distance. It is a little way outside Hamilton, but an excellent restaurant a few minutes drive away became a regular dinner destination.

“Quiet, peaceful and friendly”
This property is something different to your usual. You start with an arrival through the gates and up the white tree lined drive. The actual accommodation is behind the main house. It is an open bedroom, kitchen and sitting room. You can stroll around the gardens and sounding area. It is quiet and peaceful. The friendly couple Sally and Brett that own the accommodation live in the main house. The town is ten minutes away and because you are not directly in the town it is easy to move on to your next accommodation without getting stuck in traffic.

“A quiet and comfortable base to explore Hamilton and especially its outstanding gardens”
A spacious room with all facilities set in a lovely large garden. Hosts Brett and Sally were attentive and informative without fuss. Molly (the dog) was a great asset.

“A very well decorated home. Premium feel.”
This is a large property and therefore very quiet. We were given the room in the front, and woke up in the morning seeing cattle (cows) grazing the field about 20 yards away! Pretty amazing. Bedding excellent (premium), and breakfast is help yourself in the kitchen. Furnishings are very nice. Best of all, car is parked right outside the entrance and there are no stairs hence minimal lifting of luggage. Host gave us recommendation for dinner at restaurant nearby and it was quite nice (otherwise difficult to find).

“Lovely people, lovely stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful place with us.”
Easy to find, safe - down a lovely driveway. Friendly and welcoming hosts. Beautiful self-contained unit - with everything you needed. Was close to where we wanted to go (Field Days and University). Continental breakfast provided was ample, with a great selection. Lots of space and fresh air - highly recommended.
