Lovely cottage in great location

Lovely heritage cottage in a great location walk to shops and beach. Loved the wood fire and well stocked kitchen - only downside was no dishwasher. Great outdoor area to eat or sit in the sun and plenty of grass area for our pooch. We loved our stay.

Charming original cottage in Port Fairy

We were charmed by the original cottage and enjoyed the location close to all amenities, particularly the local heated pool which was ideal for the children. Bike riding and lovely walks, great coffee and excellent supermarket. We will return!

Wonderful stay.

This cottage is wonderful and fulfilled our expectations. Everything necessary in the kitchen was supplied ~ we made dinner twice without having to hunt around for utensils, pots etc. Bedrooms are lovely ~ comfortable beds dressed in quality linen. Couches ideal for lounging about in and we appreciated having Netflix and Wifi. So, a lovely, characterful cottage in gorgeous Port Fairy ~ highly recommended! PS ~ Raddy, the Aussie Shepherd, agrees and wouldn't mind staying there again. Many thanks.

Quiet break away

A delightful cottage, clean, spacious, lots of light and comfortable. Prue's Cottage was everything we required and more. Very close to the centre of Port Fairy and an easy walk to the wharf area and walks to Pea Soup bay etc. We travel with a well behaved Border Collie and were pleased a fully enclosed backyard meant we were able to let him outside unsupervised. The lovely Roz at Langley's Booking Service was a pleasure to deal with and made everything from booking, arrival and departure so easy. Can highly recommend this property.

Perfect winter getaway

This cottage had everything we needed, cut firewood for the solid fuel heater, was cosy and warm, very comfortable stay for us all. Cottage was in terrific location being short walk to shops & cafes and to the lovely Pea Soup beach. Communication with accommodation owners was straightforward and they were very helpful.

Well located property

We enjoyed our stay at Prues cottage as did our 2 small dogs. Cottage is close to shops and restaurants and easy walking distance to the only all day dog beach in town. Bed was very comfortable and the "older" period section of the cottage was well fitted out with a sitting area and 2 other queen beds. More modern back area was a little tired but well fitted out, clean and comfortable. Good sized yard out back. We will stay here again.
