We stopped here for one night and it was just what we needed. The cottage is modest but very cosy and spotlessly clean. It also has a good deck area for oudoor dining. Thank you Dorothy for a lovely stay.
Cottage was lovely and clean, bed comfortable, lounge also comfortable. If you want somewhere to stay with your dog highly recommend this place. Lots of room for the dog to run and explore. Lots of beautiful wild birds, nice and peaceful.Dorothy was very friendly and helpful.
We stayed in one of 3 cottages on a very large block. The cottages are all of an older vintage but thoughtfully provided all that is required. Our cottage was warm and clean.Our dog as well as us was made very welcome and she enjoyed the run of a secure large yard.It is a short drive or long walk to the village. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating.
We stayed twice in Maeburn Cottages and we highly recommend!! Communication with the hosts was easy, accommodation is well located, neat, clean with all your needed facilities.

Stayed in a family unit overnight to break our journey home. Dined at the Metung Hotel, meal was delicious! Hosts were lovely, and accommodation very comfortable. A great pet friendly cottage.
We booked last minute and the whole process was simple and smooth. The hosts were lovely and the cottage was clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again.
