I recently stayed at Fantails for the fourth time in the past 3 years. It is situated in a quiet location with beautiful grounds for guests to enjoy. I couldn't think of anything worse than staying in the middle of town, on a highway, with trucks and trains rumbling by 24/7! The rooms are comfortable and the quirky features contribute... More

We understood the concept of Fantails as we have stayed in Tui Cottage previously, but were unprepared for the ramshackle, shabbyand expensive accomodation of Times Past Cottage. The website advertising bore no resemblance to what we were shown into. Two bedrooms were in fact now a pokey three (4 woman had 1 dressing table to share) There was no sep.... More

Sure the location was quiet but the cottage was so old and pieced together, with what appeared to be glass office partitioning.

We would recommend the cottage for people with little kids as it is informal and separate so you have no worries about the littlies being noisy. Everything you need is there without being... More

This was a beautiful place to stay. I too had Tui Cottage and Heather the proprietor was lovely and spoilt me with totally organic breaskfast each day. Didn't have the same thing twice the whole week. Although it was winter the cottage was cozy and warm and where else do you you have the owner running thru the rain to... More

Location is not ideal if you do not like walking or no car, approx 15 mins to Town centre. Gardens are beautiful with all types of flowers /trees... More
