Summary: Lovely heritage style cottage with unique touches to make the stay feel special. The open backyard was excellent relaxing in and the kitchen was well stocked. The house does heat up on hot days but that is to be expected with an older heritage style property. We would recommend this house to stay in while in Port Fairy.

Summary: Modern, well equipped kitchen and bathroom, vintage styling to match home. Great outdoor space. Whole interior needs a thorough clean, floor didn’t look like it had been mopped, door mat still dirty, underneath beds dirty with dust and grime. Couch and cushions had food stains.

Summary: Very clean and spacious cottage, wonderful shower! No air con but there were fans. Had to be careful with some low doorways but not a major issue. Lovely big back garden. A bit far from the main street for us to walk but others may disagree.
