Lovely cottage and grounds
Loved the cottage and grounds, in a very quiet location. Spending the afternoon under the grapevine covered pergola was just perfect! Short walk to the Guildford Hotel and General store means you don't need to drive anywhere (Castlemaine and Daylesford are just a short drive away if you feel the need). Loved being away from the crowds of Dayelsford. Our host was always extremely prompt answering any queries. We will definitely be back.

Magnificent in so many ways!
The property is stunning, perched on a hill with a gorgeous vista. We fell in love immediately! Everything was as listed, with so much attention to detail - the house was sparkling clean and gardens immaculate. We especially loved the small touches like a full litre of milk provided (my mum loves many many cups of tea!), the bubble bath for the spa, and the fully equipped and meticulously clean BBQ. It was an easy walk down to the general store and pub (exceptional service and food, be sure to book!). Our family would love to come back to stay again! Thank you Janelle!

Perfect escape
The cottage is lovely, well fitted out and spotlessly clean, with everything needed but no clutter. An amazing view, facing east for morning sun but a lovely shaded back pergola if it gets warm in the afternoon. Gardens are beautiful for walking around in. Easy walk to the general store (coffee and light meals) or the pub for drinks/dinner. Easy and picturesque drive into Castlemaine, so plenty to do nearby. Only thing to be wary of is if you had mobility issues, there are large steps inside the cottage and the shower over spa would be difficult to negotiate - not a criticism but maybe important to know for some guests. We had a wonderful stay and would easily come again.

Cosy Cottage
Arrived in the dark~such a clear view of the stars~and awoke to the most beautiful sunrise! The property is gorgeous and so clean, I can tell this cottage was built with love. Close enough to everything yet far enough away. We wandered down to the general store for breakfast and it was lovely sitting under the big tree with a delicious breakfast and coffee. We would not bother looking for anything else if we stay out that way again, everything was perfect. Thank you so much!
