Observatory Cottages

Was great that it was big enough for my 3 girlfriends and I each having our own bedroom and two bathrooms was a bonus. Great location on the mountain. Hosts were very helpful and quick to respond to messages

Cottage decor very tired. Have stayed in the other cottages quite few time a few years ago and nothing was upgraded. Pathing outside was very uneven and dangerous. I personally tripped and fell because one brick was sticking up so far. Was very disappointed by the state of the gardens around the cottage. Everything overgrown so much in each cottage garden the wonderful city and bay view they once had is completely gone, this was something very special and unique to these cottages but no more.

Cosy cottage

Nothing

The cottage itself and the location are absolutely beautiful and feel almost magical.

The cottages lacked several amenities that were promised at booking. My booking stated there would be breakfast included, when I arrived I was told that there was no breakfast service since COVID. So we had to change our entire plans on shortest notice to organize breakfast for ourselves. The place further lacked robes and slippers that were promised as amenities, and the tub missed it's plug, rendering it unusable during our stay.

Nice breakfast

Found bed way to firm ended up with a sore back. Too much noise from next door they arrived home at midnight and you could hear every foot step on the floor boards. They also had a shower and it sounded like the bathroom shower was on the other side of the bedroom wall as you could hear the water running and going down the shower drain. Didn’t get a good night sleep so woke up with a huge headache from lack of sleep and my sore back which ruined our high tea plans for the Sunday. I don’t think we would return book this property again.
