We absolutely loved our stay. Dave and Helen were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. Our place was very clean, beautifully furnished with a hunting flare throughout. The beds were very comfortable. The surrounding gardens were nothing short of magnificent. Dave and Helen even let our 3 grandchildren swim in their pool. We highly recommend the Jolly Poacher Retreat. A&C Campion, Victoria , Australia

Must stay
Loved our 2 nights staying at Fishing cottage. Perfect for a couple or family of 4. Brand new purpose built cottage with all the 5 star amenities. Comfy beds, fresh cooked eggs for breakfast. Absolutely beautifully decorated. A big thank you to hosts Dave & Helen who made our stay really special. Ruth

Our stay at this venue was fantastic! The cabins themselves were extremely charming - new construction with a great kitchenette, modern bathroom, comfortable beds. On the estate, there are sheep to watch and a common area for activities. Dave and Helen were such welcoming and helpful hosts! Their personal touches such as the freshly baked lemon loaf and recommendations to eat in town made the stay even enjoyable.
