The property is lovely, very cosy and comfortable. We stayed in winter so naturally it was cold but the central heating was excellent as were the electric blankets! It’s less than 5 minutes drive to Leura town centre. A beautiful property

Excellent stay in this cute place
The perfect location for a WE in the Blue Mountains! Ideal for couple

Thanks for your great review Jef Hopefully, we will see you again sometime.
Michael was a great host to deal with. The cottage is warm and thoughtfully furnished and well located. The garden is secure for dogs. Overall it is very good value. There were a couple of minor drawbacks. Access to the cottage is up a steep flight of outdoor steps which were hard to navigate in the dark and rain. The lighting in the kitchen is very poor - the overhead light is not working and the lamp by the stove is very dim. We'd stay again if the kitchen lighting is fixed.

Thank you for staying, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay and thank you for your great review
Property was exactly as described. Cosy and pet friendly. I wouldn't advise arriving in the dark as the steps up to the house are a bit dodgy in the dark. Otherwise it's a lovely cosy cottage in a great peaceful location.
Best 3 days enjoyed walking to Leura also bush walks in blackheath loved the house so comfortable & cosy at night with open fireplace 4th time will definitely be back again

Peaceful cottage bushland setting
Peaceful stay in old cottage. Some maintenance issues but absolutely lovely outlook & proximity to nature, including a bandicoot under the house, possums on the roof & king parrots in the trees.
Really loved staying in this historic property. Enjoyed brunch on the front verandah, great cooking facilities, leafy garden and outlook and cosy open fire. Did not want to leave. Thanks for everything.
Very quaint cottage nestled amongst tall gum trees. Lovely sitting on the verandah listening to the birds. My dog loved having a big garden to explore.

Cute cottage and well equipped
I spent a few days at the cottage with 2 kids and enjoyed our stay. It is well equipped and feels homely.
As a light sleeper, I unfortunately heard trucks most nights on the highway- the kids didn’t hear a thing.

I'm glad overall you enjoyed your stay at Piccolo.
You must be a very light sleeper to hear the trucks on the highway.
Sorry to hear you lacked sleep. Bose to a great noise cancelling sleep-headphone
My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at Piccolo in the Blue Mountains. Quaint historic cottage which was very comfortable. Our dog Max enjoyed the bush garden and all the smells it had. It was a dog proof garden although probably not for very small dogs - Max is a medium size dog - Brittany Spaniel.
Piccolo presents as it is explained. It is very comfortable for two people, the bed was very good and the kitchen is well stocked with all you need to self-cater. Michael also provided lots of helpful hints about what to do and where to eat. We would certainly return.
This is a cute property with lovely decoration throughout.
The property was very clean and the bed was super comfortable!
Michael, the property manager, was very friendly and offered information about places to go to help plan our trip.
The steps up to the property from the road may not be good for older people or dogs who have issues with mobility.
Found the stairs or driveway a little bit much at times .All you want for a pleasant stay plus an interesting library of books.Took a while to get the front door unlocked

Comfy, cute cottage
Piccolo is a very comfortable cottage. Great kitchen with everything you need to cook a meal. Enjoyed the fire. Steps to the cottage are a little awkward when you get to the top but good incentive to stay indoors. Only comment would be no electric blanket - would have been nice on a cold weekend.

Thanks for your great review
The electric blanket has now been added back into the house after it has been requested a couple of times.
And the steps will be renovated once it warms up in October.

Charming Cottage - Garden Neglected
Cottage was adequate for our needs, however, out of the 4 dinner plates, 2 were cracked and unusable. The Hair Dryer had fallen behind the Clothes dryer but was retrievable and able to be used OK. A curtain would be ideal in the Bathroom. Otherwise the Cottage was warm and cosy with plenty of books, 2 jigsaw puzzles, DVD's and CD's (but nothing to use them on) and pots and pans, etc, for cooking. The Garden needed a general clean up with some plants in need of a trim and the grass mowed. A hand-rail on the concrete steps. would be ideal as they were difficult to manoeuvre especially at night when the outdoor light only stayed on for 30 seconds. As it was raining most of the time during our stay our dog was kept indoors, but even if it had been dry the condition of the yard would have restricted his movements. Basically, the garden was not as well kept as what it looked like in the advertising photos. Perhaps the winter month's weather had prevented the owner from doing garden maintenance and it will, no doubt, be attended to for the summer. The Cottage is lovely and in a nice quiet area with easy driving access to Leura and Kootoomba.

Thanks for your review.
I wish you had let me know about the plates when I came halfway through your stay (to deal with the tree on the power line due to high winds), I did ask if everything was ok, I have spare dinnerware in storage for these sorts of issues.
And I agree the garden isn't in great condition, the amount of rain we have makes it difficult to plan maintenance between guests. I mowed the lawn on Friday 14 Oct, and we have blocked the house so we can do further garden maintenance the weekend of 11 November come rain, hail or shine!!
