That goes for the whole of Daylesford too, such awesome planning has gone into the beautification of the town. ##### Alice H.

With an open fire and being well heated, even cold, wet and windy weather didn't detract from the lovely stay in this charming little cottage. Thank you! ##### Tanya B.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nataliya B. 23 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cosy space, but very cold in winter This house was a perfect space for our little gateway. Incredibly clean, tidy and cosy. One of the downsides is that it was freezing cold, even with a heater running the whole day, it was quite uncomfortable. Another minus is that the fireplace isn't operational... A massive no-no for our future stay in Daylesford in wintertime. Otherwise, it is a wonderful space and we really enjoyed the stay! ##### Nataliya B.
