Heather is a great host. She goes the extra mile to make your stay comfortable. The cottage is small but all you need for a stay in KV. Kitchen is well equipped and the bed is comfortable. The house is one of three up a driveway/lane but we found it. It's close to the shops etc

Excellent location, minutes from village and easy stroll to Hampden Bridge. Charming cottage with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Bottle of wine, nibbles, milk, quality tea/coffee wood and kindling for slow-combustion all taken care of. Even olive oil and seasonings to cook on site. Reverse cycle a/c and lots of blankets to rug up in winter. Bluetooth speaker, dvd player, wi-fi all supplied. We brought an hdmi cable and hooked our laptop to the tv to stream - no issues.Our puppy enjoyed the fenced backyard and loved playing with owner's dogs. King bed was so comfortable, we slept really well.Even better than the photos.

Wonderful short stay

Stella Ann was a unique stay. It is a nostalgic cottage, very comfortable, clean and everything you need for your stay. A short walk to the shopping village which is very handy, a lovely verandah to sit and have a glass of wine in the afternoon. The garden is very pleasant to sit and have breakfast and listen to the birdson. Will come again.

Nice and close to town. All kitchen stuff available. Heather was easy to contact and nice. Could do with an empty cupboard to store groceries. And heating in the tv room would be welcomed. Will need more room to turn car around now front block is sold. Thanks again.

Excellent and relaxing getaway

Quant cottage style house. We loved the rustic interior. It's walking distance to the main strip, so you can easily walk to the shops, pub or go kayaking. The host is very friendly and attentive. Comes with a full kitchen and dishwasher! If you want a nice relaxing stay and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the perfect retreat for the whole family.

Quirky property in convenient location

Great location for strolling to town, and we enjoyed relaxing on front verandah. Out door furniture at rear of property was pretty shabby and grounds were overgrown during our spring stay. Overlooked by house at the rear. Interior was comfortable but olde worlde. Everything we needed and dog friendly. Nice hosts.

Home Away From Home

We stayed for a week post Christmas with some friends/family joining us for the last few days. The house is historic so don’t expect a modern house, but we loved it and everything it had to offer. It was just a short walk into the village with everything you need including a great bakery and pub. You do need to walk through one bedroom to get to another and the single bed has no curtains (all fixed with a sleep mask).

A get together with friends

The booking process was simple and smooth. The host very kindly provided a complimentary bottle of wine. The home is a delightful mix of antiques and charmingly decorated with. The verandah was nice but not cleaned so could not be used. And the door featured on the website is every bit the alluring image, however as the door was jammed shut in our visit , it presented a limitation.

Cute old cottage for 2 mates, 2 couples or family

The place was cute and charming, kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom is tiny but has what you need. Just beware of the bedroom description if you’re a couple of girlfriends all expecting to have your own private room, only 2 of the rooms are private. Lovely balcony with gorgeous garden out front.
