We loved every moment at this gorgeous cottage which overlooks a picturesque landscape of lush lawn, beautiful gardens, kangaroo river,rolling green plains and tree-topped escarpment. Though steeped in history, the house has all the modern comforts including central heating and Netflix. It was also extremely clean. Karen's thoughtful extras included sourdough bakery bread, farm eggs, champagne, chocolates and even a home-baked sponge cake (so lovely as she knew my daughters were celebrating a birthday). She is a wonderful attentive host who checked in with us to ensure we had arrived safely, were comfortable and had everything we needed. She also responded speedily to our few queries. We highly recommend Hampden House - it is one of those rare guest houses where the accommodation is as lovely as the website suggests and the host goes above and beyond to ensure you have a wonderful stay.
