Summary: What a beautiful little gem this sympathetically restored cottage is. The owner has managed to keep the period features and character whilst providing modern comforts. Cosy living room with period decoration and furnishing and well fitted bathroom and kitchen with all modern features whilst maintaining the cottage’s character. We are only sorry we could not stay longer. The porch is a lovely spot for an evening beer before retiring to the comfy bed.

Summary: A lovely old-fashioned cottage for our stay between Blenheim and Twizel. Perfect for eating outside, with all the necessary facilities. No Wi-Fi, which may be a bonus (?).
