Lovely place to stay, right on the rail trail and within a 20 minute walk to the centre of town. Beautiful grounds and outlook and a lovely modern updated period home with eveything you could need. Hopefully we can visit again, when the multitude of fruit trees are in season.

We had a very comfortable stay in this lovely cottage. We stayed for the Mother’s Day weekend and the large country-style kitchen was perfect for prepping a Mother’s Day brunch, which we shared in the beautiful back yard. Our kids loved the bunk room too. A great place for a family getaway.

Our stay at Cooke Cottage was fabulous! We were 7 adults (our 3 adult children plus their partners). There was plenty of room for all of us and our extended family who joined us for meals in the evening. (13 in total) Cook Cottage was a pleasant 30 minute walk along the Riesling trail into Clare each morning for coffee) The cottage was clean and toasty warm with the two open fires. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to go back again!

Had a great time staying at the cottage, well equiped and cosy on the cold winter nights. Great facilities and location, would definitely recommend to others. The only thing is that the light over the stove didn't work which made cooking a little harder other then that an awesome stay.
