10/10
We loved our stay and would highly recommend this unexpected find!Mish, the host, was excellent with communication and thoughtfully prepared the cottage with little touches such as easter eggs for the kids.It was a very comfortable stay, the house well set up with a dishwasher, large fridge and gas oven/stovetop, as well as an outdoor bbq. The woodfire was easy to use and kept the place cosy overnight.Downstairs, the daybed and sofabed were good for the kids while we appreciated retreating up the stairs to the loft to fall asleep in a very comfortable bed. The cottage, being 4 mins drive from the main part of Coonabarabran, meant it was peaceful at night and lovely to wake up to birdsong and a curious rosella at the loft window.There was lots of colourful artwork and books, the kids enjoyed the board games and also the large garden...also befriending the horses next door. The cottage was large enough for four of us to be together and also had separate areas for downtime. It was less than 30 mins from Siding Spring observatory and the Warrumbungle national park, and took about 12mins to get to Donna the Astronomer's stargazing show.We left after four nights feeling like we'd had a relaxing change of pace from city life, but with all the comforts of home.
