    Nothing. It was our sort of place

    A La Folly is just like staying in a Gite in France including having fresh juice and delicious crepes for breakfast. Stef is a character who seems to have unbounded energy and wants everyone to enjoy the place as much as she does. We took the optional 3 course dinner as we didn't want the hassle of finding somewhere in town to eat and it was very tasty and plentiful. Yes the toilet and shower are a short walk away but that is part of the character of the place.

    Heater doesn't have a thermostat, so it can get too hot if you leave it on. Not a big deal most of the year of course.

    The host was lovely. The food was tasty. The room was comfortable. The atmosphere was charming and creative. Also very much pet friendly.

    We absolutely loved our experience in the rustic and cosy Old Tool Shed. Our hosts were very accommodating and made us feel at home as soon as we arrived.. It’s a beautiful place and our only regret is that we couldn’t have stayed for a few more days to really relax and unwind in the surroundings..

    The only negative which is a minor one was the mosquito's in the toilet and bathroom in the mornings but since I was at a location close to the river this is not surprising. easily sortable with those portable mini bug zappers - I will bring one.

    A beautiful, tucked away quiet place with some french style and a rustic 1870's stone cottage feel. The bed in the room I was in was mega comfy - I slept so well. the staff are super friendly too

    Wonderful country hospitality, Stef, Sacha and Chop the dog were really welcoming and thoughtful. Incredibly lucky to have been offered some perfect crepes, which we enjoyed for breakfast overlooking the flood plains from the little porch. Such a refreshing stay out away from it all.

    Stef our host was amazing, getting us settled on Christmas day! She checked each day to see we had everything we needed and bought us a beautiful breakfast. The room and surroundings are quirky and safe for our little dog.

    Our hostess made pancakes for breakfast and delivered them to our room, it was displayed beautifully. The location although not walking distance from the shops was very quiet and peaceful.

    Quirky old stone building in quiet area

    As it was very cold, the trip to the bathroom and toilet (20 metres across gravel, through a gate and up 2 steps) was very unpleasant, especially during the night. The bathroom was freezing cold and tiny. Both are old outbuildings with ancient wooden doors that let in the cold air and there was a nasty smell of sewage outside. The free toiletries listed consisted of a tiny bottle of liquid soap. No shampoo etc. The room was very cramped, with a tiny fridge, an electric jug and a toaster, crammed into available space, with a minuscule rubbish bin inside and a slightly bigger one for recyclables outside. No running water in the room, which was quite inconvenient. Breakfast was either pancakes or crepes (although we weren't given a choice on day 1). A continental or cooked breakfast would cost an extra $10 per person, we discovered. This isn't mentioned in the description. The bed was rickety, although reasonably comfortable but the extra blankets could do with dry cleaning as they smell very musty, as does the tiny sofa.

    Not much. A tired, 1950s cramped room with no room to put anything. At least there was a heater, as it was extremely cold. The location is its only redeeming feature, right on the edge of town and very quiet.
