compact cottage, had everything we needed

Maple Daylesford is a lovely two bedroom cottage that made a perfect base for a 3 night stay. Although it was mid summer we had a cold snap and having the reticulated hot water heating on when we arrived made the place cosy over the entire stay. It was cold enough to justify a fire in the fireplace which added a nice ambience to the lounge room. With two large bedrooms (both queen beds) and huge bathroom and good kitchen there was everything we could want. The house is an older property but has retained the old charm while having all the mod cons needed. Its location is perfect, a short walk into town or up the hill to the Convent (amazing) or to the many shops in town, or to Cliffy's for breakfast or Bistro Terrior, Beppe's or the Boathouse for dinner.

Its not clear where to park as the spot beside the house is actually for the property behind. The people in the place behind complained so the agents texted me, and while there was space for them to park, I did recall some instruction somewhere in the fine print but couldn't find it when we checked in. A small sign on driveway, or even a notice at the key lock box would be helpful.

Great location and ambiance

A very nice cottage in a great location

It would have been nice to have a welcome book giving details relating to the property eg. How to work the heating system.

Location was ok

Daylesford Country Retreats are the most unhelpful, patronising and dismissive rental agents in Daylesford. If you want a holiday where you know you’ll be backed by an agent if things go sour - don’t use them. Greedy, selfish, liars.

Loved the having a cosy fire for the cold weather

The fire was good it was cosy . great location

the key lock was painful and frustrating to use . My Wife felt the mattress was very ordinary especially for the price we paid

The location was excellent. We could walk to all the attractions. We both loved the bathroom. Just gorgeous.

The spa bath caused such a mess. I'm worried that the water will damage the wall and skirting boards over time.
