About this property

Madam Saddler A Gorgeous Accommodation In Clunes.

Set in historically beautiful Clunes, this gorgeous shop front cottage, Madam Saddler dates from c1853 and has been tastefully restored and decorated with all the modern conveniences to make your stay as comfortable, relaxing and memorable as possible.. Madam Saddler is a one bedroom only accommodation best suited for couples looking for a romantic relaxing private getaway stay. An additional two adults above 14 years can be accommodated within the bedroom and livening area.(extra fee's per adult applies).

It took its present owners over 15 years to collect and restore 1850's building materials, and a further 4 years to personally craft this luxurious 1* bedroom shop cottage.

A great effort to detail this little cottage, and is a perfect place where guests can be spoilt.

“Beautiful”, “gorgeous”, “charming”, “romantic”, “luxurious” are all words which have been overused for a long time, but somehow for Madam Saddler, they don’t seem to be enough!

Wonderful place in history
We just loved our stay in Madam Saddlers. Sam has done an incredible job with the historical research and prresention and made a really comfortable place to spend a few days. The facilities are excellent with a very well equiped kitchen including a great coffee machine! We slept well, the bed a bedding very comfy. We used the washing machine, dryer and bbq which all worked well. Thankyou Sam

Unique, superbly clean & cosy
Truly a joy. In the small, quiet, quaint town of Clunes, we found this standout gem. The most perfect way to spend 3 nights to refresh and recharge. Will return during colder times to enjoy the fireplace. Could not recommend highly enough.

Comfortable, cosy and charming
Madam Saddler is charming, comfortable and incredibly cosy. Very well appointed - with quality linens, coffee machine, good TV, very comfortable sofas, a lovely wood fire heater, soft lighting (an important part of the gentle atmosphere of this lovely cottage), lots of room, and with a leafy, private courtyard. The heater had been lit earlier in the day for our afternoon arrival, just one of the many thoughtful and inviting features of our stay. So relaxing. The cottage is close to everything - highly recommended is Quigley & Clarke across the road - we dined and breakfasted there - excellent. Madam Saddler provided the perfect getaway for our city-weary souls. Thankyou so much.

Fabulous stay at Madam Saddler. Loved the attention to detail and the generous things that it offered. A full kitchen if you wanted to cook. We love the sculpture of Madam Saddler. Very special.
