The Shack is a lovely, comfortable place to stay in a beautiful setting. The attention to detail means is excellent and meant we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend visit. Alison was a great host too, we hope to visit again sometime!

This was our second stay at The Shack - Alison is a very welcoming host and provides a lovely selection of breakfast items. The open fire is lovely - bathroom chilly so leave the door open to get heat in there - highly recommended location!

My husband and I had a great time at The Shack. Alison was prompt and communicative in the lead up to the stay and we found the property exactly as advertised. We really appreciated the breakfast and snack options, and also our interactions with the resident golden retriever, Daisy! (Who was also very obedient and could be contained if that was an issue for others!) We loved the coziness of the fireplace and will certainly try to come back in warmer months when we can make use of the outside area.

Pleasant location and hosts and the only negative thing to say is the bed was uncomfortable. I don't know if its just because we have a really comfortable mattress at home and have got far to used to that level of comfort, but it made sleeping difficult unfortunately and without sleep it tarnishes the shine of all other things. And it doesn't even cost much to get a good mattress like Sleeping Duck etc these days so it's an easy problem to rectify, and we enjoyed everything else. Would have given 5 stars otherwise. Please be aware also there is limited mobile signal in the surrounding areas.

We loved everything about this cottage and didnt want to leave to venture out for dinner because it was too cozy by the open fire. There was everything we needed and Alison couldn't have been more helpful. And the bed was amazing - we slept so well. Thoroughly recommended and we would stay again.

Such a beautiful place to spend the weekend. The cottage had everything we needed. The breakfast supplies were well thought out, beautifully presented and delicious and made our weekend so much easier. Nearby are so many great places to visit that it’s such a convenient place to base yourself. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Amazing cosy cottage with full kitchen, separate bathroom and very comfortable queen bed. The provisions provided by Alison are more than ample for a couple. Various breakfast options including fresh bread, eggs, milk, yogurt and several cereals. Plus snack options. Could not fault anything. Meeting Alison and husband was an added bonus. Alison left extra special birthday wishes for my partner as she knew that’s why we were having our weekend stay. Highly recommend staying in The Shack.

The shack was just devine, a cosy 2-3 room bungalow with an amazing open fire, perfect for those cool autumnal evenings. The privacy was excellent, but the host is close enough by "just in case". The grounds were a delight to walk around especially with the falling autumn leaves. A perfect stay.

We loved our stay at Alison and Mark's property. Restful, private space to just read and disengage from our lives for a few days, yet within easy reach of the town and surrounding townships. We really enjoyed the quality and nice touches in the cottage, from the complimentary snacks (more considered and extensive than I've encountered in other properties) and breakfast supplies to the fittings in the cottage. We'd definitely consider returning for another restful weekend away and highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay at The Shak, it was the cutest space, with absolutely everything to make our stay so comfortable. The breakfast hamper and treats were next level, and the bed adorned with quality linen, was so comfy. A beautiful bunch of red roses on the kitchen table just reminded me of home, they were just stunning. We would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful space in an enchanting garden, can't forget to mention Daisy, the dog, she will come over for a cuddle if you are a dog lover, or not if you aren't. Thanks Alison and Mark

We had a great time staying in the shack, it was very clean, had a beautiful ambience to the room with a lovely fireplace and limited mobile connection so really great to switch off. Alison was a lovely host, she prepared a generous breakfast hamper and was very welcoming. I would love to stay again and would highly recommend.

We had a lovely weekend in this cute cottage - especially enjoyed the log fire and the beautiful breakfast items that Alison left for us. My only difficulty was not being able to stand under the shower to wash my hair as it was a fixed shower head that was quite low. Would highly recommend though.

We recently stayed here for our 10 year wedding anniversary and it was such a delight. The Shack has everything you need and Alison is such a lovely host. We were surprised on arrival with a bottle of champagne, chocolates and roses. Such a lovely touch. Plus a generous supply of food for breakfast which was perfect, the homemade muesli was delicious. I would highly recommend staying here for a cosy couples weekend.

This property is absolutely divine. It is a cosy little cottage with all the small touches that make it amazing. The grounds were so beautiful and to be able to walk around the garden and a special show by Daisy made the weekend. Allison is a wonderful host and gave us privacy but was available if needed. We will be back.
