The open-plan living and bedrooms lead onto a wrap-around verandah, where you can take in the tranquil garden and lawns.

Beautifully secluded but close to town
Our stay was beautiful, the property feels like it is very secluded with the views out to the escarpment but is close enough to town centre (5 minutes) that we would just do coffee and pastry runs for breakfast! Our toddler loved just exploring the property and the horses up the road. Having two fireplaces in the house was also lovely!

Weekend stay
Stayed for 2 nights. Nice little house in great location. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. A couple of minor issues, top of fridge needs a wipe down and there are old star pickets sticking out of the ground at the steps in the yard. Stood on one with bare feet! A bit of tv reception wouldnt go astray as well. Fix these things and ill give you a 5 star rating.

Mixed feelings
We had a pleasant stay at Borrowdale, but it could have been better. The living areas and kitchen are well furnished and equipped and have a nice, welcoming feel. We very much enjoyed this part of the house. The views are peaceful and pretty. The bathrooms are sorely in need of renovation and the vanity cupboard and drawers were not clean enough to use. The outside verandah and windows were caked with grime, built up spider webs and old wasps nests and the window screens have multiple tears in them. We spent over an hour cleaning these areas on our arrival. Naturally in a bush setting some spider webs etc are inevitable, but the amount of grime suggested lack of attention over some time. Disappointing, as the state of the bathrooms and windows detracted from what otherwise would have been a wonderful stay.

Bucolic Bliss
My partner an I have been staying here for years. Love it. We have always been reluctant to review it because we want it to remain our little secret. It is clean, cosy, comfortable and well set up. Outstanding views and wonderfully peaceful. You feel like you’re a million miles from anywhere but Berry is only a few minutes away. We would recommend it to anyone who wants a few days of R&R

Beautiful getaway
Perfect location with a beautiful outlook, just far enough away from Berry to relax but close enough to grab a coffee and pastry. The home has everything you need with fully stocked kitchen and plenty of space. The two fireplaces ensure the house is adequately heated and extra blankets are provided. Board games and books give a homely atmosphere and would stay again.
