A private & peacful location. The acomodation itself was beautifully presented and the bed was super comfy. All facilities were immaculate & the special touches for everything you need were provided.

Birthday weekend
We went down for my wifes birthday, the cottage is beautiful. Its so quiet only the cows in the fields, some horses . We loved the way the cottage was set up , my wife (Jan) felt a home the minute we walked in,the bed was so comfortable,we didn't want to leave. I could go on for ages about the place .we will go back again soon. Cheers Paul

peaceful farm retreat
The distance from town was more than compensated by the peaceful surroundings and the nice features in the property.

Lovely studio/cottage with views
Nestled on a quiet farm, this lovely studio/cottage has views to the hills behind Port Elliot. Th space is very nicely set out with lovely touches and everything you need for a short stay. It is sans oven but has a microwave and stovetop. It's about a 5-10 minute drive into Port Elliot.

Lack of privacy
Generally, we found the place to be clean, comfortable and easily located. However we were disappointed by two things; the lack of blinds on the windows and the amount of traffic that drove past the accommodation on a private property. There is a window directly opposite the toilet that has no blind which looks right out onto the main residence and the driveway and the large bedroom window only has a sheer curtain, certainly see-through at night. This also looks out to the driveway. With the amount of cars driving past, this was indeed uncomfortable and really surprising. The front door is also bare of window furnishings and anyone coming down the driveway can see straight into the accommodation. We felt that each window should be properly fitted with blinds and it's up to the guests if they use them or not. Just a styling tip too - if you have vases in the rooms (there were four overall) and least put something in them. It doesn't need to be fresh flowers, but it then looks like you've gone to some trouble. You also need to update your information sheets - there were two of the same sheet in the leather binder and they were both badly stained - unprofessional. I also would have liked the property manager to send me a message about key collect/how to access the property etc. rather than me having to approach them on the actual day.

Hi Naomi Thank you so much for your styling tips I will certainly take them on board. We have never had any complaints in the past 18 months of operation but your advice and feedback is valuable as we are always looking to improve our guests’ experience at the retreat. I apologise for the car traffic it may have been the horse people which is quite unusual being it was a weekend, thanks again for staying and letting me know your thoughts. Best Regards

A short stay, but I could have stayed longer. Simple, elegant but unpretentious. A beautiful, peaceful stay. The owner was responsive to a late night communication in regard to nearby party noise, which I appreciated greatly.
