Everything we hoped for and more
Chris was a wonderful host and a magician with poached eggs! We were greeted with muffins, cream, strawberries AND muscat as well as treats for the dogs. The place had everything we needed and an amazing shower. Chris's advice on places to visit and eat were very helpful and her breakfasts were amazing - I didn't expect smoked salmon with my Eggs Benedict! we will visit again.

Our wonderful dog friendly cottage was warm, cosy and very comfortable for all three of us. Our host Chris made us feel as though we'd known each other for years. Our old dog Jesse relaxed and settled in straight away. Also, Chris cooks a delicious brekky which is not to be missed. Looking forward to staying again, many times

Dog purposed accommodation with generous secure and private garden.
Ten minute walk to centre of Rutherglen, this beautiful historic former hotel building has two self contained apartments. Each apartment has a private garden which are secure for pets with outdoor BBQ and furniture. Nice touch of having complimentary carafe of muscat, cosy rooms with tea and coffee and a separate sheltered kitchen and eating area for breakfast and meals. The cooked breakfast was delicious.

Enjoyable over night stay
At time of booking Felicity was in touch to find out if we had any special needs. On arrival she showed us through with clear instructions on how everything worked. A beautiful breakfast was provided, all cooked by Felicity herself. The yard was very surcure for our dog and it was nice to be able to have her inside with us. Would recommend for both a short stay or a good base to explore area from over a few days

Enjoyable holiday house with great hosts
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the garden suite which also provided a secure private garden space for our dog to run around in. The accommodation and features were all as advertised in the listing. Our hosts Chris and Charlie were delightful. We had a great and very entertaining wine tour with Charlie. Chris provided us with excellent breakfasts each morning along with helpful tips about where we could go out to eat together with our dog. We loved meeting all their dogs and hearing their stories about each one of them. We had a great time staying here and also enjoyed the decanter of port provided 😊

Charming hosts and a delightful property
The property is lovely. Comfortable, very clean and a three minute walk to the town centre.... and Rutherglen is a great base for exploring North-East Victoria. If you have dogs or not, you will have a wonderful stay, but if you do have dogs, I can’t imagine a B&B that would be more welcoming and accommodating of your companions. Chris and Charles are truly charming and delightful hosts. Chris does a delicious full breakfast, and I strongly recommend arranging for Charles to cook you up a dinner in the dining room. Great people and a great stay. We will definitely be staying again.
