Guest Reviews

• Bronwyn (8/5): Lovely historic house. - Lovely historic house. Record player was a nice touch. We also enjoyed the log fire. Walk-in wardrobe in main bedroom was good too. Mattress in the main bedroom was a bit too soft for our liking. Fan in the ensuite bathroom didn't appear to work.
• Lottie (5/5): Nice place but did not appreciate hidden costs. - It's a 2 bedroom place that allows you to setup both beds even if there is only 2 people staying (light sleepers or sleep apnoea etc). When we changed and had 4 people staying it was suddenly an extra $140 per night. There was nothing extra that was worth an extra $140. Just a cash grab.
• Robyn (9/5): Very relaxing - Lovely old cottage Would be more cosy with a mat in the lounge area.
• Joanne (10/5): - Beautiful property so comfy loved the record player and the great selection of records
• Anthony (8/5): -
• Helen (10/5): Lovely ambience and comfort in the heart of McLaren Vale - Lovely historic property Good central location Pool for hot days Well equipped kitchen Quiet location Nothing - it was all good
• Rosie (10/5): -
• Anna (9/5): Fabulous! I would love to stay there again if possible. - Gorgeous old cottage with lots of character. Plenty of space and thoughtful host who left a nice bottle of wine and some snacks for us. We enjoyed eating out as well as eating in. A few bit more crockery and tea towels would have been helpful. (We had to raid the drawers in another room to locate tea towels). And some smaller plates and bowls for toast and cereal in the morning would have been good. And steak knives for the BBQ. But otherwise it was terrific. Loved having a dishwasher and coffee machine and well stocked. Much appreciated. Ooh, one more thing. There are red back spiders outside. To the left of the door for the old cottage. I think they are living in the ceiling/awning cracks. We saw at least 3 up there or coming down. They didn’t bother us at all, but just in case there are kids around..
• Daryl (9/5): -
• donald (9/5): macclaren vale is a lovely spot and cole-brook cottage is great place to stay - exellabeennt location overall a very nice place been a older home the natural light in the house was poor

• Neale (7/5): We loved the history and location of the house, the bed was comfortable just very low to the ground. We enjoyed our sta - The property was in a great location. Clock on stove/oven didn’t work which meant you couldn’t set it to use the oven, so no operating oven. Was very dark, not enough lights Not enough chairs for 4 people to sit comfortably in the lounge room, main bathroom was freezing underfoot and could use a big floor covering to help with the coldness.
• Gregory (9/5): -
• Petra (7/5): The house is beautiful, great location - The property was beautiful and great location The property advised it came with breakfast, when arrived there were none so contacted the owner and was advised they changed it. I told them I was disappointed as that was one of the reasons for booking. She did bring breakfast eventually but made me uncomfortable to have to chase it up. No communication regarding the change. Also the Fire place could have been repaired as when you light the wood all the smoke was coming into the room therefore we had to stop using it.
• Janette (9/5): Short but sweet , definitely come back & stay again 😀 - Beautiful cottage, with everything we needed. An excellent location to Main Street & surrounding wineries.
• Marilyn (7/5): Good -
• Harriet (5/5): Great location and potential, execution could be improved. - Location and potential. I read reviews about the breakfast being good, but we were only provided with milk, butter, cereal and coffee. We had to fix all the saucepan handles as they were loose and dangerous. We could not turn the exhaust fan on or the light off. There were no dish cloths. There was no gas in the bbq so we could not use it.

Walk to toilet a night a bit of an adventure but nothing to be concerned about
