Stanbridge Cottage A Cosy Retreat

Stanbridge Cottage is a cosy and snug place to stay in the centre of Daylesford. The freezing weather was not at all noticeable in the beautiful warm interior of the cottage. The host Kylie was great. Very informative and welcoming.

Great house

We all just loved this house. It had beautiful and very comfortable spaces , a well equipped kitchen and the beds were really comfy too. It was great to be able to have the dog in the family room and secure yard.

So lovely

We absolutely loved our stay at Karlens Retreat. Warm, cosy, sun drenched beautiful kitchen, comfy beds, lovely decor, gorgeous little wood fire and beautiful surrounds. Very tastefully and thoughtfully designed and felt so lovingly restored. . Quiet and relaxing, we felt immediately at home. Quick 2 minute drive to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs central. There are some winding steps down to the front door which are widely spaced but not too steep (for those with mobility issues there is a side gate which we did not open but may be accessed with owners permission?) Highly recommend!
