Pretty cottage. Consideration of a sink would improve the facility markedly

Hi Peter and Libby - thanks for your review and glad that you enjoyed your stay in the Dovecote Cottage. There is a sink in the upstairs bathroom, but as noted in the listing and also the confirmation, there isn't a sink downstairs. It's not an option to provide a downstairs sink without major rework, which would markedly increase the price. We'd encourage you to consider staying in one of our other cottages, which both have full kitchens, if a sink outside of the bathroom is important to you.

Our overnight stay in the beautiful cottage was an absolute pleasure. So very clean, such attention to detail, and all the little goodies with loving touches made for a beautiful experience. Sorry we used all the bird food 😂 but there were so many to feed lol. Absolutely recommend Clarendon Cottages and I can’t wait to return. Thank you for a lovely night xx

Thanks for your review Nicole and we're glad you enjoyed your stay in the Dovecote Cottage here at Clarendon. We're glad you enjoyed the birds - we counted 10 Rosellas, plus several King Parrots and Cockatoos so I'm sure they enjoyed you providing the birdseed for them. We'll look forward to seeing you again.
