All rooms in our 1880s random bluestone cottage have panoramic views over extensive gardens (surrounded by dry stone walls) featuring a Celtic rose bed to Great Oyster Bay and the dramatic Hazards at Freycinet with Wineglass Bay just beyond. The property is a pleasant drive to the state's midlands, national parks, ferry to Maria Island and the 'hottest' spot in the world (as also nominated by Lonely Planet International 2009) at the Bay of Fires also on the East Coast.

'A delightful stay, charming hosts and in a thoughtfully restored Celtic castle near the sea ' !
"Even though we arrived before our ETA we were greeted with a smile and a "you should never just drive past" from our hostess. True Scottish hospitality transplanted into the beautiful surrounds of Swansea. 'Abbotsford B&B' was a lovely place to stay. Having the whole cottage to ourselves was great, it meant that we could just relax and come and go as we wished. The breakfast was HUGE, it definitely set us up for the day. The bed was the biggest I have ever slept in!"
'What can we say ... your hospitality, your kindness and unbelievable brekkies made our weekend one that we will never forget in such a beautiful cottage and surrounds. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share your tranquility and because we missed the sunrise we will be back again soon'.
