Louise’s place is nice and cosy and perfect for a few days away from the city. Our stay was mostly pleasant, however I hadn’t realised it had a neighbouring property very close to the cottage. Because of this, there was maintenance work being carried out and 2 young lads pitched up tents right next door. This wasn’t ideal and we are unable to open the bathroom blind due to a tent outside the window. There wasn’t much privacy from the workers and a noisy hedge trimmer was used most of the Sunday afternoon. I contacted Louise to inquire and she informed me she was not warned of any work that was going to take place and nor were they affiliated with Brookvale. It wasn’t ideal however this was not the fault of the owners of Brookvale. This was unfortunate, however we did get to enjoy a few peaceful days taking in the beautiful view of the valley from the veranda. The cottage was clean, tidy and well equipped. The bed was very comfortable and have returned home feeling well rested which is all we wanted from this break. Thanks again.
