My husband and I stayed for one night at the Dry Cottage in Ivy on Glenelg and were blown away by how cosy and comfy it was. We reached in the evening and initially considered eating out but decided to stay in after seeing how well equipped the cottage was with all manner of creature comforts. The Dry Cottage comprises just one room with an ensuite bathroom, but thanks to the clever optimisation of space, the room fits a bed, two sofas and a TV, a lounge area, a dining table, a kitchen area with a dishwasher and fridge, and even a washing machine. For those who wish to cook, the kitchen includes rice, a variety of pasta, instant noodles, various condiments and equipment (even a rice cooker!) for your use. Breakfast provisions were very generous as well - a variety of bread, cereals, milk, juice, muffins, and delicious yoghurt with fresh berries. Fret not about getting bored too, as the owners have thoughtfully provided books and DVDs for your enjoyment. Was impressed as well by how the bathroom had senior friendly features like handlebars and seats. The only small downside was that the Wifi didnt work very well when we were there, but overall it was a fantastic experience. Thanks to our hosts for your warmth and hospitality!

Breakfast- so much to choose from, so we had our poached eggs (fresh from chooks) and bacon for dinner. Lovely quiet courtyard, interesting house to stay in. Very helpful host.

Would have liked to know more about the food availability. Did not know there was some food to cook for dinner. Like the place.

You obviously did not listen to the welocme which explained your food options and the pasta, noodles and rice. Obviously not what you you get free of charge in other establishemnets

Hazardous regarding mobility, cramped inside not a lot of room to move around, dangerous steps inside. Appreciate it’s an old building but if you need space at all to move between bed, seat, room very difficult, small steps inside are dangerous.

We don't normally respond to anonymous reviews as we don't really know if you actually stayed here but we felt we should this time as it is not factual.
