Quiet, warm and clean and loads of character. Fresh eggs in the fridge an added bonus thank you

The sitting space is quite cramped with a very small couch , then the table with 4 chairs squeezed into the one area with the various kitchen cooking bits and bobs. I would struggle if we had more than 2 people and the weather socked out. But this is a historic cottage and the phots clearly show the cramped space , so one needs to be vigilant when planning a group stay , as it is advertised for 6.

The history of this quaint place. Location and the garden is great to sit out in. For kids the loft is a great hide out but the steep ladder “ as shown in photos by the property “ definitely is not for anyone who needs to use the facilities at night.

The plumbing for the toilet should be improved. There is a noise coming from the external flap of the bathroom extractor fan which was very noisy as it was windy.

A lovely, historical cottage in a pretty garden. Very well equipped kitchen. Friendly and helpful host. Even though the cottage is right next to the road, there is no traffic noise at night

The cottage had such a warm, homely feel to it. While being an older dwelling, with so much interesting history surrounding it, it had the luxury of all the modern amenities that you'd need.

Everything was very good so there was nothing we didn't like.

The location, the cottage and its facilities and idiosyncrasies, the hosts, the garden

The village fish and chip shop was shut.

We were transported back in time 200 years, whilst retaining the comforts of modern day. Beautiful and well stocked garden. local walks and runs on the peninsular.

Location perfect for our stay -very near the albatross colony. The cottage itself is lovely, and beatifully presented. Its garden a total delight.

The cottage is quaint and has such an interesting history. It was great grabbing a few herbs from the garden to add to dinner. Very warm and cosy.

If you are looking for a cute wee cottage to stay at this is perfect so nothing not to like. The space was tight with the 5 (2A3C) of us, but we were only sleeping there so it was perfect for that. They are on tank water so the toilet flushing thing was hard with the 5 of us.

We picked this property for the location, it’s walking distance to our family. The children very much enjoyed the attic bedroom. It was an adventure for them to stay there. There has been obvious care taking to preserving the original cottage with modern upgrades ie heat pump and double glazing. Owners were very helpful and friendly.

I liked everything and would definitely stay again

I had a late arrival, the door was unlocked and the heat pump was on. Tomatoes and eggs were in the fridge 😋

Being kept awake by the sound of pacing. Some poor soul spent alot of time waiting in that beautiful whare but my family and I felt welcomed. Due to the lack of sleep I was thankful that I didn't have to drive that day.

The garden was lovely, marvelous first impression. Charming, beautiful and very old cottage. The photo album gave some interesting history, I would love to know more about the people who lived there. Beautiful timber walls and floors, nice bathroom. Warm and cozy.

You cannot see the sea from the cottage

Great little cottage, very small kitchen area but adequately equipped. The bedrooms were very comfortable but note it is ladder access to the upstairs. The host was very nice and offered us eggs from her chickens and veggies from the garden. The cottage was spotlessly clean. There was ample parking. Small shop nearby otherwise you have to drive back to Dunedin for supplies.

Very small space for relaxing, probably to be expected in a property of this kind.

The 10min delay for flushing the loo very inconvenient with 3 people staying

Lovely well restored cottage with good beds. Access to garden produce which was terrific

Nothing comes to mind.

The history of the place. Friendly hosts. Lots of birds, delightful garden. Easy to find. Handy to the albatross colony and other scenic spots. Not too far from Dunedin. Cool in the heat of the day. Of all of the places on the summer holiday, this had the most comfortable bed. I did stay 2 nights despite what it says

The character of the cottage, and the owners' sympathetic refurbishment. Very quiet and comfortable and in a great location.

This was a remarkable place in a hertitage cottage. Everything I needed was there and the quality and presentation was excellent. The rustic stting just made it even better.
