A quaint escape
We loved everything about this cottage and didnt want to leave to venture out for dinner because it was too cozy by the open fire. There was everything we needed and Alison couldn't have been more helpful. And the bed was amazing - we slept so well. Thoroughly recommended and we would stay again.

Cute and comfy
Such a beautiful place to spend the weekend. The cottage had everything we needed. The breakfast supplies were well thought out, beautifully presented and delicious and made our weekend so much easier. Nearby are so many great places to visit that it’s such a convenient place to base yourself. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Cosy Romantic Getaway
Amazing cosy cottage with full kitchen, separate bathroom and very comfortable queen bed. The provisions provided by Alison are more than ample for a couple. Various breakfast options including fresh bread, eggs, milk, yogurt and several cereals. Plus snack options. Could not fault anything. Meeting Alison and husband was an added bonus. Alison left extra special birthday wishes for my partner as she knew that’s why we were having our weekend stay. Highly recommend staying in The Shack.

A little piece of Southern France
The shack was just devine, a cosy 2-3 room bungalow with an amazing open fire, perfect for those cool autumnal evenings. The privacy was excellent, but the host is close enough by "just in case". The grounds were a delight to walk around especially with the falling autumn leaves. A perfect stay.

An welcome oasis
We loved our stay at Alison and Mark's property. Restful, private space to just read and disengage from our lives for a few days, yet within easy reach of the town and surrounding townships. We really enjoyed the quality and nice touches in the cottage, from the complimentary snacks (more considered and extensive than I've encountered in other properties) and breakfast supplies to the fittings in the cottage. We'd definitely consider returning for another restful weekend away and highly recommend this property.
