Barossa Country Cottages, Lyndoch

Fab stay with friends!

Liked: Great accommodation for a group and location for wineries and distance from Adelaide.Lovely hosts very helpful
Disliked: Nothing!

Superb

Good value. I would stay there again.

Liked: Location in Lyndoch was great. Its a nice little town and the locals were friendly. I enjoyed a walk to the shops. The washing machine at the cottage was a huge bonus. The check-in arrangements worked well. Plenty of hot water.
Disliked: The cooking arrangements were a dead loss. It took us two nights to work out how to operate the bench top stove. The reverse cycle aircon took some mastering; we ended up relying on the little oil heater.

Our stay would have been...

Liked: Pleasant little cottage for 2 people. Very quiet, just the bird noise which is lovely to hear. Off the main road. Close to walking and bakery/shops/park. Verandah with seating is a nice place to sit.
Disliked: Lack of a secure garden area for the dog - very small scruffy area with a low fence and no lock on the gate - easy for any child to get in which is dangerous, our little dog would have been terrified to be left in such an enclosed space, she was a rescue dog. Not being allowed to leave our dog inside on its own even though I'd contacted owner and explained we always carried large sheets/couch covers with us and covered the furniture to keep it clean and hair-free. Plastic mattress protector - an ordinary one would be better - causing a very, very warm sleep the first night before we removed it. Lack of hand towels - just one between 3 of us. Too small access for toilet if disabled. BBQ outside toilet window. Spa area - which comes up on the phone - unavailable. Lack of communication between owners and caretaker. Cleaning could have been better.

Our stay would have been very pleasant if it was just 2 of us and no dog.
