Good location

We enjoyed our stay, the property was well appointed, our dogs enjoyed the large garden and the location was perfect - we could walk into town and down to the lake. Would stay here again

Costly cottage with all we needed.

This was perfect for us. Cosy and warm. Walking distance to the Main Street but a very quiet location. A large yard where the dogs could exercise. A well equipped kitchen for preparing and hosting a dinner. Modern bathroom and kitchen. Not super fancy over the top luxurious but quite lovely, thoughtful, practical and perfect. Bliss. Thanks

Houlet Daylesford

Myself, my daughter and my mother stayed for 3 nights. This home is in a great convenient location where we could walk to shops and the lake etc. The kitchen & bathroom were great although we recommend the installation of a dishwasher as I didnt really want to be washing dishes on vacation at this price. The heating was perfect and electric blankets so welcome when we stayed. Generally the home could have done with a more thorough clean especially in the living room and the laundry room was inconveniently located and not renovated to the same level as the kitchen and bathroom. Overall pleasant happy stay and communication with manager was terrific. Thank you!

Everything we needed

We stayed for a three night break with three kids (aged 6-8). We had everything we needed including room to kick the football in the large back yard. Our little dog was happy running around outside and the yard was secure. Inside there was a cozy and warm living room for reading and relaxing. Electric blankets on the bed were also lovely for the chilly nights. The kitchen was well stocked with everything for eating in, but there are also so many great pleases to eat out nearby. Was great to be within walking distance to the Main Street and supermarket too.

Great Location but a bit run down

The property was very clean and in a great location, but it really needs a once over to bring it up to good condition. Very old and musty and needs a good clean & repaint outside

Excellent location

Had an great stay at this property, only drawback was not having a dishwasher or wifi and the only tv was a tad small for my husband to watch the races 😉- otherwise a clean comfortable place to stay!
