The Art Retreat-5 minute walk to Daylesford, quiet and tranquil

This was a beautiful mini retreat in a superb location. It is a rustic and quaint interior with full private amenities in a very clean and cosy space surrounded by a tranquil and gorgeous garden. A definite positive alternate to a motel. The owners Jess and Ali respected full privacy though certainly were helpful and approachable if needed. Ali's art work is to be admired. Jess's local knowledge was shared willingly . The owners focus however is on ensuring you feel uninterrupted surrounded by nature, being comfortable embracing all that Daylesford and its surrounds offer. The location was less than a five minute walk to the main street so made outings to cafes/ restaurants shops places of art and a fabulous gin bar (recently opened by Daylesford Spirit Distillery) as well as nature walks easy to navigate (a slight hill back to walk). There is full access to a private car space and driveway that ensures a complete sense of security. Plenty of tea, coffee,milk, linen and the heating and cooling was perfect. A nice little fire place that the owners can light if requested. For those who might stay at this accommodation reading the history inside the welcome information is revealing. If you like clean, full privacy and a central and gorgeous location without the clinical and unpredictable feel of a motel then this is a prime choice. Thank you so much for Ali and Jess - you have created a tranquil and enjoyable place to stay in beautiful Daylesford.

Super cosy, beautifully decorated little retreat. We walked to everything in town and fell into the big comfy bed of a night feeling happy and relaxed. Lovely private garden outlook and quiet and unbeatable location. Friendly and respectful hosts. I would highly recommend The Art Retreat.

Lovely - nestled into a surrounding flowerful garden.All my needs met. Peaceful, private and restful.

Lovely little property to stay at. Peaceful place and the owners are lovely.

I absolutely loved my stay, and it was in the perfect location. It felt very safe and had everything that I needed. The couple living in the main house were extremely lovely and helpful, but also kept to themselves. I will definitely be back!

We had a problem locating the place as it wasn't on Google maps. Managing the door code in poor light and pouring rain was a bit difficult. View of TV from the bed was obscured by bed poster. Small table was unstable. Having said that, all equipment was state of the art, towels superb, underfloor heating very welcome, torch for the night and even ear plugs a nice touch.
