Disappointed at the lack of compassion from the owner. My father suffered a heart attack the day before, owner refused to let us cancel or change dates. Didn’t even offer his sympathies. Was pushy about arrival times. The stables cottage has other cars parked beneath it which kept us awake with other guests arriving/leaving during the night. The cottage itself was clean & comfortable, but a bit over priced.

The cutest little cottage we have ever stayed in. The bed was like a cloud which seemed great but a little too soft, and unfortunately the down stairs alarm went off at midnight for some reason which didn't help. Everything else was amazing!

Thanks for your review Brooke. Great that you thought the cottage was cute, we get that comment a lot! Sorry you found the bed a bit soft, it is a very personal thing. Our apologies for missing that someone had set an alarm for midnight, that’s annoying. We hope to see you back again, perhaps in one of our other cottages. Regards, Chris and Gayle

Pretty little cottage

Pros: Lovely surroundings.
Unfortunately too many do and donts, too many rules and regulations for my wife and I to really relax. The threat of being charged for any so called misdemeanours we found off putting. The actual place is quite nice though. Also a long walk from car to accomodation, no good if raining.

Thanks for providing some feedback Nick. We are very surprised and disappointed that you felt you weren't able to relax and are perplexed as to what rules and regulations you found off putting. In our welcome and confirmation email that we send guests after booking we simply advise that our full terms and conditions are on our website and point out that the key items are check-out time and no smoking/candles in the cottages and that fees may apply if these are not met. We feel these are very reasonable and common sense to ensure the comfort and safety of all guests. At check-in we mention these again briefly as many guests do not read the boring stuff! We are always courteous and friendly about these simple rules and have never before had anyone mention any concern about them, including yourselves - we only wish that you had mentioned this at the time of your visit so we could have alleviated any concerns you had. Nevertheless we certainly take your concerns onboard and will review our welcome message wording carefully. We understand that the 45m walk from the car park to this particular cottage can seem a bit far when it is raining. We do supply umbrellas in the cottages but we will now also locate some at the car park in case guests get stuck without one. We hope all the positive experiences you had will see you return to Clarendon Cottages and the Dandenong Ranges. Regards, Chris and Gayle
