We stayed in the Coal d'Vine Cottage for 3 nights with 6 Children and 2 adults while visiting my sis

We stayed in the Coal d'Vine Cottage for 3 nights with 6 Children and 2 adults while visiting my sister who has recently moved to Cessnock. Upon arrival we walked into a beautifully warm cottage that was neat and well suited to our needs. The kitchen was well apointed which is really healpful with 6 children. The only negative to the place is it is on a busy road but we would definately use this cottage again when visiting my sister.

The place was fine for a couple of nights

Comfy beds, good air con, enough space. The kids liked the bunk beds. Doesn’t look that much like the photos, things aren’t as bright and clean and furniture has been moved and changed since they were taken. It’s missing a few basics that we had to get like a dish brush, laundry liquid, pegs, but has enough kitchen thjngs and over all was fine for a short stay.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy

Disappointing

Bed linen, pillows, duvet and towels were of a very poor standard....disappointing considering the high two person tariff for one night. No instructions for using the TV and no connection cord for the DVD player....finally sorted after contacting owner. On the positive side, the house was warm and clean with a workable kitchen and close to shops and restaurants. Bathroom was functional with bath and ample hotwater. Laundry lacked a dryer which precluded us from doing a much needed clothes wash. Although this is an old home on a busy road, much more could have been done in presenting this property to improve the guest's comfort and overall experience and encourage repeat business.

Great central location to explore area from. Wonderful entertainment area to enjoy. We had coffee every morning outside and listened to birds in trees while planning our day. Once inside our disabled daughter was able to manoeuvre around independently. Owners were great with communication and house was set up with folders to give local area guidance. Very clean and functional house with a fenced yard that our companion dog enjoyed exploring
