Jenny was very friendly and warm in her emails. She provided clear information and we had no trouble finding the cottage. She also provided clear instructions on how to walk to the river very near to the house, and my children and I liked the quiet path along the river very much.
The cottage is very clean and well-kept. We arrived on a day when the temperature soared to 41 degrees Celsius, so we were really grateful for the airconditioning in the living room and the ceiling fans.
The kitchen is well-equipped, and the pots and saucepans are all in good condition, so it was easy to cook at the cottage. Jenny also provided cooking oil, salt, pepper and herbs, and tea and coffee, which were all very much appreciated. The gas barbecue was also really easy to use.
Although there is only one bathroom, there is another separate toilet, which was helpful for a family of 5.
The cottage is a good base from which to explore Barrington National Park as long as you have a four-wheel drive. Numerous birds can be seen from the cottage and I was thrilled to see the lyrebird visit the tree just outside the cottage a few times!
During our stay there, we visited the Barrington Community Market. While it wasn't very big, the people manning the stalls were very friendly and it was nice to be able to visit a fair meant for the locals (and not for tourists!).
All in all, we really enjoyed our stay at the Old Schoolmaster's Cottage. Thank you, Jenny, for being such a warm host.
