A Stay in the Countryside.
The cottage has been beautifully built and, with its tasteful combination of brick and stone, it nestles sympathetically into the surrounding countryside.
It was well-fenced with plenty of surrounding lawn, so it is ideal for anyone who has a pet accompanying them.
Balnarring village is in walking distance for the fit, has an excellent IGA supermarket and also has the Red Hill Bakery, which is first class.
Unfortunately, the hydronic heating control in the cottage proved temperamental; on the plus side, there is a split system ac. which proved an adequate substitute.
In all, we had a peaceful and relaxing stay and would certainly like to revisit.
