A character cottage showing it's age.

The location was great, handy to the main road and Blackheath centre. The kitchen was well appointed. The beds were comfortable

This was not the original cottage we had booked, we were changed to this cottage by the property managers "Accommodated". The photographs show the cottage to be bright and airy but it is a very dark cottage inside, even with the lights on. It required a fair amount of heating even though the outside temperatures did not drop below 7C. The cottage is on multiple levels

Very good

Close to town and lookout and short drive to Katoomba

Main bed needs new mattress and ended up on slight slope on current mattress.

House is great but rustic. Accommodated are unbelievably rude and make false claims.

Great location

Upon leaving, Accommodated claimed we wet a bed!? this is not possible as we're all adults and teenagers, non drinkers having a quiet family holiday. There's also no lock on a window. We left the place spotless and this is the accusation made against us and advised we won't be receiving our bond back! We are following up with them and booking.Com

Very good

Plenty of room for 2 families. Comfortable beds. Good kitchen facilities. Great fenced garden. Quiet area but a short walk to Blackheath shops, cafe and restaurants. Good location for bush walking. Plenty of bedding and good heating. We had a comfortable stay with 5 adults.

The constant warnings about the rules and regulations was a bit OTT. I understand the need to make guests aware of the rules but I got many emails with the rules, suggesting perhaps the owners had had issues with guests before. Some wear and tear associated with old houses present. Having one shared bathroom for several guests was a bit inconvenient but manageable

very comfortable, lovely and quiet and had everything we needed.

it’s got a very family holiday home feel about it, retains its history well but also has the modern things you need in the bathroom and kitchen. sooooo quiet at night and nice comfy beds. we sat out under the beautiful stars at night and had cups of tea with the birds in the morning.

nothing really, it was what we wanted & needed for the weekend. for the price it was great. my teens would say it should’ve had wifi but it really wasn’t required.

You get what you pay for

Quaint rustic and original. Pretty gardens. Good location easy walk to town and to lookout. Small but comfortable for two singles and one couple.

Booking process was confusing. Too much information about what we couldn't do. Had mixed reaction with management team but it came good in the end. The house needs some maintenance, it was quite musty and stuffy which wasn't relieved by open windows. Security issue with no way to lock front window.

Great place for the family and central to eveything

Great Cottage set right in the middle of the Blue Mountains. Close to all the major attractions and walks. Plenty of room for the children to run around and enjoy themselves as well.

Being from QLD the weather but nothing the accommodation could fix

beautiful area blue mountain are amazing .

The cottage is quiet nice with a big back yard we’ll maintain , the position is close to everything you need and all beautiful look out are nearby .

The first room with fireplace had big spiderwebs in each corner the wall had brown stain on top of the fire place , the laundry room all the roof Paint is peeling . most of the window doesn’t have a fly screen and you can’t open them when is a beautiful day . We Arrive 10 minutes before 3:00pm and there was still the lady cleaning the house , we came inside 5 min after 3:00pm . After 45 minutes the guy that he need to cut the grass and look after the garden he showed up , he says that he came to mown the lawn but i went outside to check the garden before he came and all garden was probably all done few days before so if the agency need to sent someone to check how many guest are in this cottage because they don’t trust them put a camera in front of the main door for safety reasons and you can count how many guest are in . There a tv connection in the lounge room but not Tv because they says the place is to make you fell relax listening music and drinking wine , with 3 kids not a chance .

Lovely stay, and convenient

Lovely weekend away with close friends. We were two couples, cottage size worked for us all. Did a mixture of cooking at home, and eating out at the local places (10 mins walk away). Had some great walks which are all in the area esp lookouts. We came up from Sydney on the train so easy to get to cottage (6 min walk) from train station. Nice watching the birds in the back garden.

Felt there was a lot of mistrust of how we would leave the place leading up to it; lots of communications about not allowed to having house parties and ensuring the cottage was left in good order when we left. We are clean and tidy ppl and felt that wasn't respected maybe. Some parts of the cottage need maintenance for sure and I am not sure a $300 bond was really necessary.

no!

location

lots of rules and notes about being financially penalised if you did anything even remotely “wrong”. Not a good experience. The house is old and very cold, fireplace is difficult to use, storage boxes with linen sitting in bedrooms, uncomfortable lounge with no curtains on windows so it’s freezing. Glassware and dinnerware is all over the place and needs to be updated. Zero communication around the prospect of checking in an hour earlier even though we contacted days before the booking. Really disappointed. A $300 bond was taken and was not refunded till months later when I queried it. I asked why this was the case, and receive no reply. Definitely a nice bonus for the owners if you don’t scrutinise your bill. Best of luck if you stay, it’s not a good experience. Try the pub up the road. Much better experience and welcoming. These guys have modelled their “hospitality” on some kind of weekend detention manifesto! A shame because there’s so much potential. :(

Nice cottage with good heating and good location.

The location of this property is great, just a short walk from the centre of Blackheath

Although the owners say you go to the Blue mountains for the peace and nature. A Television to relax and totally chill out in front of would be a great addition. There are way too many signs and instructions on how much you will be charged if you do this or do that. Some trust in humanity that not all people are going to party hard in your house would have been appreciated.

Pleasant old style rambling cottage with modern facilities and quiet location.

Location. Charm, value . Gas fire in main room was needed due to winter weather. Electric blankets much appreciated. Full kitchen and bathroom modern and functional. Snow in the morning a nice touch.

Was a cold night and although the gas fire in lounge was good, radiators took a while to warm rooms. One radiator wasn’t working. Significant draughts under front door and exterior kitchen door would be helped by door snakes. But it was a very cold windy winter night with snow, so not too bad considering age of house .

Old inside and out, Gardens are not enough to sell it to me

It's big, lots of room for the family to spread out.

No TV,no wifi. $300 dollar deposit required well before staying. Items are old inside,very old, carpet,couch, all of it. 1 toilet attached to the shower area and 2 doorways into it, so really there's very little privacy if loaded with people and you wake them all in the morning. Bad layout. Also it's noisy at night creaky and freaky.

Expensive but a cute, clean and comfortable place to stay if you have a dog.

Best thing about the property is that it is dog friendly, this is the main reason we booked here. Massive fenced backyard. Less than 10 minutes walk to the shops and cafes. Hotel quality white linen on the beds and electric and gas heating throughout the property which I didn't realise and thought I had to bring wood, so this was a nice surprise.

I thought it was a little expensive for what it was. It’s a cute old small cottage with a sunroom turned into an extra bedroom. The endless emails with rule after rule and harsh tones make you feel unwelcome. The emails act as if this is some 5 star home in a gated community when it's just a really old basic house with a modern kitchen and bathroom in a normal suburban street. Nothing special.

Adequate for a short stay, central location, pity it was cold and wet most of our stay.

Location central for our purposes, breakfast not included. Quaint cottage, lots of heating, good shower and kitchen.

Needed to supply more teabags, better pillows and a mirror in each room would have made getting ready for wedding we were attending a lot easier. Light sleeper so closeness of train line an issue. Not familiar with prices in that area but thought overpriced considering no tv, wifi and mattresses and pillows not the most comfortable.

Comfortable and homey

This is not a luxury property, but it is clean and comfortable and has a homey feel. The two dedicated bedrooms were quite comfortable. Living spaces often double as sleeping areas so the property will sleep a lot of people. The kitchen is well enough equipped to serve up a good meal.

The only toilet is in the only bathroom so if there is a crowd it's not very practical. There is room for an extra toilet in the laundry and this would be a real bonus. There is no wifi and no tv. There are rules for everything when you arrive and I found this a very negative experience. I understand why the owners need this, but maybe rewriting them in a positive manner might help guests feel more welcome.

Only one key, had to lock it up if some guests were both out at once

Very pleasant. Comfortable.

The gas heating was brilliant. The bathroom and kitchen were well kitted out. The bed was quite uncomfortable and better window coverings. A little more plush would be great.

The bed next to the bathroom was quite uncomfortable.
