Quite cold with a large gap under front door, 1 bed was missing electric blanket. It was quite cold on entry - heater could have been put on. Toilet & bathroom are at the back and cold. Not enough room on lounge suite . Contacted owners they said no one has complained but that’s not true

Cute little cottage

There was no access to our subscribed TV channels. I made enquiries with the owner of the property of which everything we were advised to do we did with still no access the subscribed channels. The owner stated they were away overseas for two weeks otherwise they would assist. My last message stated I was disappointed as we had teenaged children of who liked to watch the subscribed channels. I did not receive a response. I can only suggest that there is someone who could assist with these matters when the owner is overseas or away. The cleanliness of the property was generally good however, the bath did not appear very clean (may need a good scrub) so although wanting to have a bath I did not.

The property was perfect for our stay. It was comfortable, had a spacious kitchen and everything we needed.

The only minor thing is a gap under the front door which was easily fixed by rolling a blanket to stop the draft coming in.

It was beautifully presented, nice and clean and comfortable beds. Very nice amenities, lovely warm shower. Has wifi, and good heating with two split systems that warmed the cottage nicely (we stayed mid winter!). We only stayed one night but would be perfect for a longer stay as is very comfortable.

Better pillows would be nice. Coffee pods didn't work in the Nespresso.

Nicely renovated, everything we needed for a short stay in Bendigo. Off street parking was good.

It was very homely and comfortable

A safety handle in the shower / bath would be ideal for your older visitors.

Everything clean and tidy. Enjoyed the stay. Tv takes a little working out.

The cottage was presented well but the shower wasn't cleaned properly with black mould. The rest of the bathroom was clean and property was presented well.

Beautiful little cottage close to town. Rooms clean and added touch of coffee machine. They had the heaters and lights on ready for us which was lovely.

Pillows were very flat and no spares to use.

Inside and outside were clean and presentable. Kitchen had coffee machine and all other facilities needed if cooking. Outside backyard area had table and chairs and bbq. Milk and cold water in fridge. Reverse cycle in kitchen and lounge. Pleasant to stay there.

A little run down, but doesn’t affect the stay

Location was great, had everything we needed. Pet friendly

We found the bedrooms cold as although the heaters in the kitchen and living room worked well in local areas, they struggled to warm up the bedrooms during the cold winter nights. The laundry, toilet and bathroom were located at the back of the house and was a step lower than the front of the house.

Spacious and modern kitchen / dining area, and renovated bathroom / laundry with washing machine and dryer. Cottage kept clean. Labelling of cupboards was useful. Quiet location at the end of Peel Street and easy access to the property. Good WiFi.

Streetlights very bright at night, would’ve liked blockout blinds to make sleep better, tv remote batteries flat

Nice location close enough to the town centre

Cute little cottage with everything we wanted

As one who has travelled extensively there were quite a few things which I found disappointing. First and foremost the cottage desperately needs a really good deep clean. We found dirty cups in the cupboard, dirt underneath the rubbish bin inside a cupboard and greasy grime on the shutters in the kitchen. The dishwasher was broken and full of old dirty water which we notified the manager of the property about. He was very quick to respond, however it did mean that we couldn’t use the dishwasher while we were there. The front bedroom smelt very strongly of cigarette smoke so we slept in the second bedroom. The couch in the living area is quite simply the most uncomfortable couch I’ve ever had the misfortune of sitting on. The shower is over the bath and there are various trip hazards throughout the property and both bedrooms are on an angle which is to be expected from an old cottage. Neither were a problem for us but worth noting especially if you have mobility issues. As a self catering place I would like to have had some basics like oil, salt and pepper as there were none. There were some teabags and coffee pods and the milk was appreciated.

A quaint cottage in a good location across from a primary school. Very quiet and nicely decorated. Good if you have a car. The manager of the property, Anthony, was a very good communicator and responsive. Early access to the property was appreciated.

The chaise lounge in the tv room was quite uncomfortable. The kitchen lacked the basics, eg. Salt, pepper, paper towels. The shower head was great but because it was over the deep bath, it was very awkward and slippery to get into without hand rails. There was no shampoo & conditioner & shower caps. The step down into the bathroom & laundry area was quite dangerous especially at night time. Perhaps it needs an illuminated warning strip.

The bedrooms were well equipped and beds were comfortable. The kitchen/dining was spacious. The bathroom was clean and had lots of natural light and good heating.

It's a bit out of town - but that's Bendigo.

Peel was clean and tidy. Air-con/s work well. Bed/s were comfortable and bathroom facilities were good complete with towels. It's a two bedroom house with an outdoor setting and BBQ. Keys were easily retrieved. We needed to leave our luggage at the property (as we were without a car) for a few hours after checkout and the hosts were happy for us to leave them on site (out of site) until the afternoon with a small window before the next guests arrived - thank you again for that. The floors are a bit off kilter - but that just adds to the Bendigo querk 🤭 Finally, it is close to trail walks and the nature 😊

Kitchen facilities were disappointing. Pots for cooking were old, the pans not usable, and almost no useful utensils for cooking even though kitchen space was quite large, a big fridge etc and a more than adequate stove. Also no provisions other than some milk and a few tea bags, no salt, pepper or oil. I think a few more things make it more homely!

Location perfect for our needs, near family. Cute cottage, plenty of space. Very clean and neat. Contact with owners easy and helpful.

Peel Cottage is in a great central location, while still being a bit out of town, a nice quiet street. The beds were comfortable enough and a smooth check-in process. Town is close enough to walk or a very quick drive.
