Comfortable Clean Cottage

We had such a lovely time at the dairy. We loved the rustic style and the history of the place. It was clean and comfy, the location was great and the deep claw foot bath so relaxing. Highly recommended.

Really relaxing stay

I initially booked in to the Dairy and was really pleased with the accommodation. The first night was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. There was a small problem with noise from builders working in the garden but Castlemaine Boutique Accommodation came and met with me and Donna organised for me to transfer to another house which was even lovelier and much more peaceful. I had a really great stay. Thanks
