Pros are the quiet and seclusion, and the spacious place of the Carriage House. Cons were the dirt and lovelessness. Three bowls in a house that sleeps four, two scissor halves instead of a proper one, one bedside light not working as it would have needed an extension cord which wasn’t there and kids size cutlery to give but a few examples. Wie was an ample amount of stains and dust all over the place and dog poo around the property.

Thanks for the review, first of all you messaged me saying the tv wasn’t working properly (which we came down straight away to fix, upon arrival you didn’t mention anything about it) this was a bit confusing. There are actually 6 bowls in the Carriage House, I found the scissors broken, the lead to the light for the bedside table reaches the PowerPoint. Maybe bring smaller cutlery next time for your children. As to the dog poo, there isnt any around the carriage house where you were staying. Maybe around the main homestead (2 daschunds) as their is 80 acres to wander around. I feel you do not realise in the country there is dust etc.

Property was very quiet and secluded, left in the morning at sunrise so got to see that over the property :)

Beautiful setting. Peaceful and relaxing. Rooms as stated. Only 1/2 hr from Port Fairy so used it as our base to attend the PFFF.

Fantastic,thanks

The property is beautiful and I'm very glad I went. Have never stayed in the area before and it was an easy drive to Port Fairy for the festival. The room was simple which is what I expected but it would have been really nice to have a rug on the floor-hard boards didn't make it feel very cosy. Kettle, toaster etc all provided but cords not long enough to reach power points so had to balance kettle on the sink. A powerboard would have come in handy. Really lovely welcome, left alone and very safe and quiet. Beautiful surrounds. Thanks.

The place had all what was needed. It felt like it had not been used for a while, it was quite dusty; lucky we don’t mind spiders.

Thanks for your feedback

The property was stunning and quiet, the only downside would be that the bed was quite uncomfortable but that’s generally to be expected when staying somewhere ! Great hospitable owners who let me check in early over Christmas. Thankyou so much. Would stay again.
