Loved everything about our stay from ease of booking & prompt friendly replies, to the property itself. Great location & plenty of space for two couples. The accommodation is so homely & comfortable with everything you could possibly need & sitting out on the deck enjoying a few drinks & a BBQ was perfect. Such lovely hosts who think if everything!

Just a beautiful place to stay
When entering the property you look up and see the most stunning garden. Then opening the door to the house we both stopped and said how nice is this! We stayed for two nights but next time we would love to stay for a week. The house has everything you need for long or short stays. The houses decor was absolutely beautiful and spotlessly clean It was so pleasant to come back to the house after being out for the day. The owner was very nice and on hand if needed so that was a plus also. We just loved it and we will be back!!

The cottage is a beautifully renovated and tastefully furnished property sharing an expansive garden with the main house. The host is a lovely lady who has gone to great lengths to make her guests comfortable. We found the place spotlessly clean and were pleasantly surprised to find some fresh bread from the bakery, eggs, yoghurt, lemon cake etc for us on arrival. There were plenty of board games and puzzles to keep the kids busy, and for me most importantly, a coffee pod machine with a well-stocked holder holding plenty of pods including hot chocolate. Summerville is a 5 minutes drive from the house where a lovely shopping precinct is located. I highly recommend the Thai restaurant there. The only thing that could improve is cooling. As advertised, there is a split system A/C only in the living area and we found it inadequate to cool the bedrooms on a hot summer night, even with the bedroom doors open. A/Cs in the bedrooms would make this already great property perfect!

What a lovely cottage set in beautiful gardens and surrounds. The cottage is well set up for a relaxing, comfortable stay. And I am sure if you needed something out of the blue Mary Ann would do her best to accommodate you. We will be back

This is the most beautifully equipped cottage I have ever stayed in. I have travelled a lot and owned and managed several B&B. I would highly recommend staying here and hope it is available next time we come back. 🌻
