Short stay with family and family dog
We had a lovely one night stay on our trip further south. Cool little cabin and so good it accommodates pets. Sky lights in the bedroom are a great addition.

Excellent welcoming environment
Perfect for an overnight stop, en route to Picton.Very pleasant, clean and cozy. Very peaceful. Couldn't get tv working, maybe due to my lack of tech skills. Was appreciative

Brilliant bolthole
We stayed in Fairlie as a mid-way break between destinations and we’re so pleased we did. Lucky star cottage is a delight, a tiny oasis in a lovely private garden. The cottage was spotless and comfortable and we even had a wee welcome parcel of lollies, eggs and milk.-even the dog received a treat. We felt at home straightaway!
