We stayed in Fleetwood in October, and had an amazing time!
Celine our host was absolutely lovely; she and Winnie (her furbaby border collie) made our stay very pleasant.
First of all, the cottage - it has such a good vibe! It was cosy, very comfortable and a perfect spot to either spring from for a day of activities, or to stay for the day and chill. We had a little fire in the garden and read books for the afternoon - oh, the luxury. It is THE perfect spot to do that. The two really important things when staying somewhere - a comfy bed and a good shower - were 110%.
The gardens were really beautiful. It was October, therefore had the first flush of spring blossoms and the cooler weather, but the locale of the cottage itself regardless of the time of year is within an established garden and in the country. It's just magnificent. Fleetwood is located only a short drive from Hahndorf (about 10 minutes away), and is nestled in rolling hills and pretty countryside, so has the best of both worlds.
With Hahndorf being so close, it means wineries, distilleries, quaint shops and great restaurants are all within a short drive.
And lastly, if you're a dog person, Winnie is such a sweetheart, we asked for her to be around for pats and cuddles, which Celine graciously allowed. :) She was the biggest highlight for us!
Many thanks, Celine and Winnie, we had a wonderful stay and will be back!
