Nothing to fault. For us the location was idyllic. We weren’t expecting a ‘farm style’ environment yet this added to our enjoyment. With a horse paddock in front of us, birdsong, beautiful light conditions, we were rapt. To top this off we enjoyed the complimentary red wine at the end of day sitting on the deck. Dare I say, shades of rural France in Port Elliott.

Lovely studio/cottage with views

Nestled on a quiet farm, this lovely studio/cottage has views to the hills behind Port Elliot. Th space is very nicely set out with lovely touches and everything you need for a short stay. It is sans oven but has a microwave and stovetop. It's about a 5-10 minute drive into Port Elliot.

We loved the way the cottage was set up , my wife (Jan) felt a home the minute we walked in,the bed was so comfortable,we didn't want to leave. I could go on for ages about the place .we will go back again soon. Cheers Paul

Disappointed

Was disappointed because it was listed as Premium luxury accomodation, and priced accordingly. On driving up to the property it didn’t look the best ie cobwebs were abundant, The outdoor seating area covered in bird droppings and did not entice me to sit outside. Inside was acceptable but no better than any other accommodation. I would say “surface clean” not a fan.
