We stayed one night (12/11/18) at Mrs Philpotts and it simply wasn’t long enough to enjoy this wonderful home. Our family group of six adults were very impressed with absolutely everything. From the host’s welcoming greeting, the superbly comfortable beds and top class linen, the furnishings and gardens, the private spaces and the great supply of breakfast provisions, the assistance with restaurant choices and the peaceful, quiet surrounds. Thank you for your hospitality, much appreciated! We hope to return soon.

Duck House, June 2018

Enjoyed a great stay at Duck House. As usual the ambience, hospitality and generous breakfast provisions were outstanding. Have stayed at Mrs Philpotts cottage previously and also can highly recommend that, although the Duck House was perhaps a bit more cosy for a couple. Appreciated the heating on the cold rainy nights. Toiletries were advertised as being provided, but there was only soap (no shampoo). Highly recommended, will stay again.

beautiful heritage home well located

Beautifully decorated and furnished in keeping with the heritage style.
We received a warm welcome from the owners, and we couldn't believe all the provisions for breakfast. They had thought of everything, for their guests throughout. The beds were very comfortable with gorgeous linen, and the house was lovely and warm.
We would definitely stay again, only longer next time!

The photos do not do this house justice!

This is an outstanding destination for creature comforts, beautiful period fittings, generous hosts and edible extras. A country French influence describes the kitchen and dining areas while the living room and bedrooms are plush colonial Australian. The photos do not tell the whole story! The helpful hosts are happy to give you directions and even veggies from the back garden! Easy to find, much to enjoy!
