Wander down for dinner and drinks at one of the many nearby bars, cafés and restaurants, and stroll home under the stars — no need for a designated driver here! The Space Named after the property’s original titleholder John Perriman, this historic cottage blends 19th-century charm with relaxed country living. The original section, built in 1864, still features timber wall panelling, lined ceilings, and antique doors, lovingly preserved to honour its heritage. Around 1900, the front rooms were added — creating today’s comfortable living spaces. Inside, you’ll find: Bedroom 1: King bed with split-system heating/cooling Bedroom 2: Bunk with a queen below and king single above Bedroom 3: King single bed — perfect for a solo guest or child We’ve kept the soul of the cottage intact, even repurposing salvaged floorboards into the handcrafted kitchen table and benchtop. The bathtub shows some rustic wear (a touch of clean rust staining), but it’s been acid-washed and spotless — a true nod to the home’s storied past. Comfort & Convenience Stay connected with NBN Wi-Fi, Netflix, and all digital TV channels. Please note the indoor wood oven and open fireplace are now decorative only — but the large backyard firepit is the perfect place to enjoy a starry country night. There’s also a paved outdoor dining area for relaxed alfresco meals and morning coffees. What We Love The 157-year history and authentic character The quiet yet central location — walk everywhere! The massive backyard and star-filled skies The local cockatoos, who drop by daily — bring some wild bird seed, pop it out front around 3–4pm, and watch them flock overhead like a feathery parade. The Vibe Perriman Cottage isn’t polished perfection — it’s beautifully imperfect, filled with quirks, warmth, and stories. If you appreciate history, craftsmanship, and a touch of rustic romance, you’ll feel right at home here. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Streaming services ### Outdoor areas - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78360000/78351500/78351422/96fc6ca7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### East St Spa House-2 Bed, 2 bathroom, log fire, spa bath Daylesford - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=78351422&PinnedHotelID=78351422&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102900000/102899200/102899129/5eb0e921.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Chalet Noir- sleek design with heated plunge pool, close to town Daylesford - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=102899129&PinnedHotelID=102899129&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67670000/67663600/67663558/93e4cd4f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wombat Hill Cottage-Renovated miners cottage, open fires and beautiful gardens Daylesford - Kitchen - Washing machine - Fireplace - Mountain view 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=67663558&PinnedHotelID=67663558&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/72000000/71810000/71800400/71800360/27c9a97e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakewood-stylish design, great location Daylesford - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-27&endDate=2026-01-28&selected=71800360&PinnedHotelID=71800360&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Coffee/tea maker](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44790000/44787400/44787399/8bf88898.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Churchills- this iconic property takes in some of the most outstanding views of Daylesford.

My two teens and I stayed at Perriman Cottage and absolutely loved it! The cottage’s history was fascinating and it’s been so beautifully restored. We really loved its charm and the HUGE backyard, as well as its proximity to central Daylesford. Jeff was a wonderful host and the cottage was thoroughly clean and well appointed. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Jen W.

Has 3 small bedrooms. 1 toilet and 1 bathroom with shower-over-bath. If you have mobility difficulties shower-over-bath might be challenging as it does not have safely rails. ##### Helen K.
