Quaint, cosy, character-filled cottage.
A quaint, cozy cottage perfect for our small family of three. The most striking feature when entering the property is the gorgeous uninterrupted view of the valley. The cottage has a rustic appeal with its retro furnishings, comfortable living area, and thoughtful provisions such as a Nespresso coffee machine, cooking essentials, and generous provision of pillows and towels. Bedrooms - the queen bed is SO comfortable with lovely soft bedding and sheets. Double bed in the other bedroom was much firmer and I didn't find it comfortable to sleep on. The bedrooms have no heating, but electric blankets are provided. We stayed in April so it didn't get too cold, however, I imagine it would be cold in the bedrooms if staying in the Winter, and this could be accommodated with the provision of oil heaters. We loved the colourful front and backyard gardens which were a joy to explore, and enjoyed having a drink on the front verandah overlooking the gardens. The cottage could do with some cosmetic upgrades, in particular fixing the bathroom door, replacing rusty fittings in the bathroom,and a rubber strip at the base of the shower door to prevent water soaking the bathroom floor. The living area needs a floor lamp to create ambient lighting at night instead of having bright lights overhead. The host Kristen was very reliable. She provided detailed and helpful information prior to check-in, and kindly accommodated us with an earlier check-in time. We loved our stay at Aurora Cottage.
