This was our second stay and again one of our best. It’s a beautiful place, so quiet and peaceful. Can’t wait to come back again.

Such a cosy stay for me and my daughter in the Doveton Suite. Extra touches made it lovely, especially the bird seed and feeders outside which attracted a whole host of bird friends. We loved it.

Cosy and well appointed. Would stay again.
Posted 29 Jun 2024 on HotelsWe had a wonderful stay in Dovecote Cottage at Clarendon Cottages. George and Jane reached out to us before our arrival with contactless check in information, and their number should we needed any recommendations or assistance. The cottage has been refurbished beautifully. It was perfectly comfy and cozy. The property itself is also gorgeous. It was very rainy and cold during our stay, but I'm sure guests would enjoy the gardens and feeding the birds (seed is provided!) under less damp circumstances. We enjoyed curling up on the couch in front of the faux fireplace heater to watch a movie, and snuggling under the covers with the electric blanket instead (there is an air conditioner, so warm weather visitors are catered for too). The drink and breakfast provisions were plentiful, with orange juice, milk, tea, coffee pods, hot chocolate pods, marshmallows, cookies, yoghurt, fruit, porridge, cereal, baked beans, a homemade loaf of bread and condiments. The kitchenette has a mini fridge, toaster and microwave, kettle and pod coffee machine. George and Jane have made sure their guest have all they could need and more. Looking forward to another stay at Clarendon Cottages in the future.

A beautiful cottage where we enjoyed celebrating our anniversary. Spotlessly clean, generous provisions, super comfy bed in quiet and lush surroundings. Bed sleep we have had for ages.

We stayed at the Stables cottage in Clarendon Cottages. I have been staying at the Dandenong Ranges for 20 years but I was extremely impressed with this place. Visually just gorgeous - attention to detail - and every effort made for a comfortable stay. The Stables is a twin bedroom cottage - with beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Our night included breakfast and our own private garden, cupboard with toys and games and even a decanter of port with glasses!! Just wow!! I will not hesitate to rebook here

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.
