"We had a delightful stay at the Country Cottage in Spotswood over Easter weekend. The cottage was charming and thoughtfully decorated, with lots of little touches that made us feel welcome—like a lovely jar of preserves and fresh fruit and even Easter Eggs waiting for us. The kitchen was well stocked with coffee and tea, and there were plenty of linens and towels.Lesley also went out of her way to make our two greyhounds feel completely at home. She set out a big bucket of water, left a towel for their paws, and even provided tennis balls for them to play with. Those thoughtful gestures really made the stay feel special for all of us.We especially enjoyed sitting on the lanai, looking out at the curious cows next door—such a peaceful, rural setting. There’s a charming boutique right next door, and Lesley was incredibly responsive throughout our stay. Even though the cottage is near a railway line, the occasional train added a bit of character rather than being a disturbance.We highly recommend this spot for a relaxing weekend getaway."

"Nice clean bedroom,but the building could do with a refurbish. "

"Looks small from outside but really comfy inside. A big positive was a small fan for the hot afternoons, a mini fridge, a kitchenette. The only callout is hot showers are $2."

"Very welcoming to both myself and my aging border collie.Ani and Richard, great hosts and loved my time there. Would come again"

"This is a brilliant little bach. Private and peaceful with lots of sunny spots to sit, both inside and outside. You can hear the sea. Highly recommended."

"An amazing place to stay, the owners are friendly & onsite to help. We were shown to our room which doesn't happen often these days, certainly a nice touch. The rooms are clean & well appointed, even down to having a potted plant in the room. Fridge, microwave, fridge & hob all clean & in good working order. We have been travelling for a month & this was one of the most comfy beds. There is parking outside each room & while there is a road nearby it didn't cause any problems. "

"We were given a free upgrade without us even realizing, the kitchenette is stocked with nice cookware and ample dishes and the bedwas extremely comfortable."

"Friendly host. Beautiful house. Clean amenities. Lovely location."

"Amaizing stay was more than what we expected for and easy access.. will defenetly recommend and go back again…"
