    Delightful cottage exactly as advertised. Clean and comfortable. Everything supplied was either in keeping with the heritage (lovely hand sewn needlework etc) or functional and modern (dishwasher!). Lovely bed and excellent bathroom linens. Extras in bathroom, which we didn't use, could be very handy if guests have forgotten to bring - very thoughtful touch.

    Was perfect for us, and our fur baby, great location, just wish we knew about the BIG step inside the house, as I’m quite disabled and found it difficult. Also the shower over the bath was a little hard but I managed.

    Nice little relaxing and cosy property. It had everything that we needed for our stay. It was pet friendly, which was great. Our little dog loved it as much as we did. The hosts were very nice and had great communication. We would definitely recommend this little place if you want a relaxing break. It’s also a great and easy commute to Castlemaine and surrounding areas.

    The cottage was ideal for our stay, being walking distance to the centre of Castlemaine, the Mill precinct and local reserves. Inside, the cottage is cosy with all the amenities you could want for a very comfortable stay. Beautiful linens and thoughtful touches enhanced the experience. Communication with our hosts was friendly and prompt. I would highly recommend Ambrose Cottage as a base from which to explore Castlemaine and its surrounds.

Secure yard for our dogs. Small touches like night light located on step down into kitchen and a bird feeder with stock of bird seed. Property is what description says it is.

    Photos and description do not show the bathroom fully as bath and shower are combined in clawfoot tub and are listed separately. I was not able to access the bath during our stay. There is also a deep step down to the kitchen and bathroom area. Lighting is also dim and there needs to be a light over the stove so you can see what you are cooking on the back plate.

    I enjoyed my stay in Ambrose cottage. There were lots of lovely touches in this gorgeous cottage. Location great, layout was lovely and roomy. Few little things - DVD did not work, had to put the smelly thing outside, it was really strong. BBQ did not give much heat. I was concerned about the safety of the bath, it was beautiful, but quite hazardous getting in and out. I managed fine, but it could be quite a risk for elderly people. Still apart from that, I had a lovely stay, thank you Ruth and Paul.
