“Really enjoyed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013 via mobile

Very cosy cottage in a beautiful garden location. Immaculate condition. Well equipped. We really enjoyed being able to eat in and 'self cater' after a few nights of eating out. Nice breakfast provided next morning.

“Super place..”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2013

We were in the Celebration Cottage, which turned out to be properly equipped for a disabled person, so I clearly didn't read the instructions! It was lovely though. The gardens are beautiful and Rose and Phil work hard to keep it just right. Having our fruit bowl refilled with fresh walnuts daily by Rose was a treat. Very clean, comfortable... More

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, we do appreciate it. We are glad you enjoyed the walnuts - they are very popular with our guests. Desert Heart offers great wine, as do the many other lovely wineries nearby, several of which are within a 10 minute drive of our cottages, so guests are spoilt for choice. You... More
