Louise & Rob have created a truly great property. The accommodation is fantastic, the renovations are true to the period, the hosts are generous with food, the port and other supplies that stop the rush to a supermarket. Your hosts are a good source of information about trips around the place and offer their advice freely. This property lived up... More

We almost didn't book this place as we were a bit put off by the web site's focus on honeymoons. But we were glad we did as the cottages are a neat part of history, well stocked and roomy. They made a great base for exploring wine country and lavender fields. The only downside is you are supposed to wash... More

We recently stayed for a week at the Welsh Cottage, one of Alice's cottages in Launceston. What a delight! The cottage is small (1 bedroom) but just perfect for a couple. Kitchen, lounge and bedroom are all of moderate size with a very large bathroom containing not just a perfect modern shower, but also a large spa bath and lots... More

Our Cottage was immaculate and equipped with all that we needed, (and more!), the breakfast supplies were generous and topped up every couple days, and we enjoyed the complimentary port,... More

Last night we stayed in the Welsh Cottage (Shambles 3) and it cost $200 inc lovely continental breakfast and a late check-out. The service and standard of this B&B is outstanding. And you can bring your dog! The cottage was impeccably decorated and sparkling clean. There was a fantastic deep spa bath for 2 with plenty of extra room, a... More

Our family stayed in the Bonnie Doon cottage for 3 nights and thought it was great! The cottage is scottish themed and had 2 bedrooms, bathroom with spa, washing machine & dryer, lounge room and kitchen/dining area. It was very clean, fully self-contained and certainly spacious enough for 2 adults & 2 children aged 9&11. There was a breakfast provision... More
