We stayed at Observatory Cottages for our wedding accommodation and was impressed from arrival. East close access to shops, clean and secluded and perfect amenities for a relaxing, comfortable stay. Milk, bread and water/juices provided unexpectingly which was a bonus so breakfast and snacks sorted. Keep up the great effort !!

I was impressed with the friendly point of contact and professionalism exhibited. Extremely clean cottage with old world charm. The native bird life was a bonus! Most enjoyable stay and looking forward to staying again. 😊

We stayed 1 night and the suite was brilliant. Clean and tidy with little unexpected touches like all the stuff for breakfast in the fridge and waiting. The late checkout was great and we'll certainly be back. Thanks for a great night away :)

Lovely relaxing property, well stocked with supplies. Garden needed some weeding. An additional bench in the bathroom would have been handy and perhaps a wide vision mirror at the entrance would also improve safety, not that we had any issues - just feedback.

Beautiful unit, everything well thought of, including breakfast ingredients, great fireplace, 2-people jacuuzi, comfy bed, candles, nice backyard, parking at the door, easy signage and instructions. The only content was the few spider corpses we found on the floor (but hey, no live ones).
