It is a convenient lovely old cottage with ample room inside and all the amenities we needed including a log fire which was perfect on a couple of cold nights. Not too far to walk to the main street of Greytown and Greytown Hotel almost right next door for a tasty meal. The Host was pleasant and helpful. Would stay again.

great little spot

this was a great little cottage that was really handy to the Greytown shops. The 'Top Pub' is literally a couple of doors down the road and had a great little menu for an easy tea. Lovely spot

Fantastic location, we walked into town, easy access to all amenities. A definite home from home, quiet, relaxing, and the hot tub, bath tub and wood burner, were the icing on the cake!!

Lovely cosy home

What a beautiful retreat for one or two people. We loved being only a couple of minutes away from the shops, but feeling tucked away in our own private setting. The cottage is small but spotless and well presented. We appreciated the extra touches such as the toiletries, the chocolates, the hot drink selection and the fluffy robes. Would definitely stay there again.

Cute cottage!

The house was well appointed, clean and tidy and really nice to stay in. The fireplace makes it really cozy and the bathtub is excellent. It’s a great location, central and good for getting around. The owners garage is right in front of the house though so there were some comings and goings during the day.

Beautiful and secluded

We stayed for one night. The location is easy to find and getting access to the property was simple with clear instructions. The cottage is very cute and an ideal size for a couple. It was clean, well decorated and some lovely touches such as bath salts, and chocolates.The spa bath lovely, although it was a little dirty. We sat out in the quite garden and enjoyed the late evening sunshine.

Greytown Break

Property was delightful. Suitably historic and authentic. Only issue was that while we received confirmation of our booking we didn’t receive any details of address and check in procedures which meant that we had to disturb the hosts, who were most accommodating.
