A fantastic stay, great hosts, charming home. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Heating & cooling throughout. Mike was thoughtful enough to lay out a game of corn in the hole he had made for your young girls to play. They were very happy as were we with the stay.

This house is gorgeous, spotlessly clean , warm and cosy, it is well appointed, has comfy beds and everything you could wish for. A short stroll into town, but far enough away to enjoy the peaceful surrounds. A very comfortable house

We absolutely loved our mid-winter stay at Black Cow Cottage, with the pre-warmed house and welcome note/gift pack on arrival setting the scene and a reflection on what great hosts Mike and Nicole were/are. The house is set in a nice quiet spot, and has a lovely feel, with a fully equiped kitchen and large and cosy living/couch setup easily accomodating 4 adults/2 kids. Would gladly stay here again.

This was our second time staying here, we loved it the first time and loved it even more this time. House has everything you need for a fab stay. Its super clean, warm, comfortable and cozy. Its a short easy walk to town, which has everything you need. Trentham is a beautiful small town, with all the charm of Daylesford, without the crowds. We were surprised at how many local attractions were close by. We drove to Daylesford, which was 15 minutes away. Mike suggested a local driver, who was great. He dropped us off and picked us up from Red Hare and Passing Clouds Wineries. We had a weekend of fun, food and wine. Cant wait to come back....again
