Stepping into the Bothwell Butchers House is like stepping back in time, but with all the warmth and modern conveniences of today. The front verandah captures all day sun and at night you can relax by the wood heater, which heats the whole house. We woke listening to birdsong. It was sheer magic. Soaking in the claw foot bath by candlelight is another of the special joys of staying here.
The cottage is so very tastefully and appropriately decorated. For us, it feels like a home away from home in a tiny country town that evokes history.
We look forward to many more returns to this dear little part of Tasmania.
