Lucy's Cottage in beautiful Kyneton

Was a great stay at Bowen Street Cottage. Old world charm with all the modern conveniences located right in the heart of Kyneton. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Nice, clean and comfortable property near town centre.

Beautiful home

The shower was nice and the kitchen however it was disappointing that there was no washing machine .In the plan we just saw the laundry and assumed there would be a washing machine-in fact we were astounded that there was not a washing machine as this the first time in over 45 years that we have ever not had a washing machine in a holiday house. The salt shaker in the pantry was nearly finished as was the instant coffee and there was no pepper at all.Every lamp was unsuitable for reading so we had to take the shades off and use two together.There were no books and the dvd collection was pretty awful, given that only free to air tv was available,The kitchen was nice however if there is a microwave then one expects a selection of microwave safe containers... the cheap plastic bowls nearly melted and did not feel safe to use. All of the doors jammed and we were trapped in the bedrooms and had to yell to each other for help.The back door froze locked and we could not open it from the inside or outside.As this was very unsafe we phoned Bev and it was fixed but it froze up again on the day we left. When we arrived the gas had been disconnected and we had to phone Bev who got it fixed asp but it is embarrassing to have to ring about issues. We put the recycle bin and the red bin out on Wednesday ready for Thursday as requested but when we came back from Bendigo someone had moved the bins( maybe the gas guy/and then the red bin was not emptied at all. In addition, the lounge chairs were really uncomfortable like nursing home chairs, there were only about 8 pegs for hanging out the washing and the back yard could have done with a mow and trim and tidy. I would say less focus on nick knacks and more focus on practical stuff. The bathroom was nice but having a picture of a bath with a telephone tap and hose and then saying please don't use the telephone taps connection because it leaks is not very good as everything should be in working order if it is advertised Towels were nice and thick and the loo paper was well chosen, fruit bowl and flowers nice but we would rather have had the practical stuff as mentioned
