Easter getaway

Great location for getting around the Clare Valley. Nice quiet area. Well stocked with BBQ, firewood (it got cold at night), kitchen appliances etc. Fridge was very cold as it tended to freeze items at the back of shelves. Beds were very comfortable. Ticked all of the boxes.There was an attack of earwigs mainly due to the first lot of rain for a long time. (they all came out to celebrate).Overall we enjoyed the premisesThanks Peter

Perfection

Peppertree was perfect accommodation for our groom & groomsmen and having both Peppertree & Tickle in such close proximity worked extremely well for our needs. Would highly recommend for a getaway with friends and family.

Gorgeous 1850's cottage in rural setting

Wonderful atmosphere, comfy beds, great hot water supply for rural accomodation, and so close to all the attractions. Mintaro is a delightful village with very special attractions of maze and Martindale Hall. The wood fire was a treat and kept the cottage cosy throughout. Great stay with our family and dog

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful part of the valley. Guests are best advised to bring breakfast supplies, as there is only a limited range on offer, but the cottage itself is gorgeous and very comfortable.

Beautiful location for this homely cottage. Had all the facilities we required for 5 people. Nice log fire. Kitchen a bit tight. Beds comfy. Breakfast offerings welcome, Only slight limitation for 5 people was single bathroom with toilet all in with shower, Host contact to get keys. WIFI and general contact was very good. Highly recommended

We found the property charming and quirky. The bedrooms were clean and lovely. The lounge had not been cleaned very well if at all, dirty floor. The kitchen is tiny but was fine for us, especially having the spacious dining room. The bathroom was fine and the shower great. We enjoyed our stay there, perhaps a bigger second couch would be even better. Thankyou to the owners and hosts. We had a great time.

Couple with a dog

Brilliant rustic location. Surrounded by farming property with sheep. Comfortable old cottage. Host was excellent and responsive when we needed something. The only concern would be is if the semi attached cottage next door was occupied by kids or noisy groups. Absolutely no issue while we were there . We would stay again, its lovely , though more likely if it was couples/dogs only. But would be awesome for groups and families Thanks

The location was great and the bread, orange juice and flowers were a nice touch thank you.

Unfortunately we experienced millipedes everywhere, in the beds, lounge, walls not sure where they were coming from but this made our stay very uncomfortable. The placed needed a good clean and we were washing cutlery and saucepans and cleaning down kitchen surfaces before we could cook our meal. The toaster needs replacing.

A lovely birthday treat

Such a charming place. I can not think of a better place to spend my birthday. A lovely bottle of wine and some crunchy bread was there to greet us. The lovely warm fire, unbelievably comfortable beds and such a warm, inviting place to spend some time to wind down and take some time out. Plenty of places to go for a walk just outside of this delightful cottage. Our dog Milly was in heaven. We ran out of wood and within an hour the wood box was replenished. Can’t wait for another visit. Thank you to our hosts
