The attention to detail in the restoration of this property and bedrooms quality of finishes - whilst not forgetting about the main thing guests look for - modern comfort - made this a superb place to stay. We loved the drawing room space, outdoor verandahs, lovely garden. The owners are welcoming and made us feel instantly at home. Breakfast was fabulous, cooked options as well as continental, very high quality, served on a quality dinner service and crystal glassware. It is a very classy place to stay and we will be back! Cobden is a smallish fairly unassuming town in Country Vic, but it really is well worth staying here, at Heytesbury House and using the place as a base to explore the local area if you're either doing parts of the great Ocean Road or the volcanic hills and plains. The town also has a great family pub serving traditional hearty meals.

nothing - we were totally satisfied with our visit.

Fabulous breakfasts - an extra highlight - especially the unique 'breakfast trifle'! Delicious eggs, good coffee. The whole ambience was lovely, calm, peaceful, relaxed and comfortable, from a bygone age! It was a good place for us to break our trip between Melbourne and Warnambool, and we especially enjoyed the Timboon and surrounds food trail on the return. Very nice meal at Sully's, a fair walk but a short drive away at the Golf Club.

I would have liked an extra cup of coffee at breakfast, and it would be great to have somewhere convenient to plug the car in to charge overnight. They were going to arrange this but I thought I could manage without as I didn't want to cause inconvenience, but it is always worth taking the opportunity with an EV! Cobden itself seems very small and quiet - many empty and closed shops - rather sad, and limited restaurants etc.

The attention to detail was amazing. Top quality bed and bedding. Loved the large bath tub. A top quality breakfast. The extra touch of bonus packages was wonderful. Lovely gardens and very peaceful surroundings.

The only small issue was having to go down stairs to fill the kettle.

Everything, from the little touches throughout to the warm welcome by Catherine, the breakfast on the verandah, the lively gardens to relax in to the Coffee were all great. The Vegan option breakfasts were delish! We enjoyed the tranquility just what one needs on an escape from the city break. We have booked to return with our adult children for my birthday next month. The village is very friendly, only 30 mins drive to the coast. A lovely few days away.

Leaving , wish we had booked 3 nights!

Great Location. Warm, friendly and very comfortable. A beautiful property to relax and enjoy. Beautifully decorated and a really good nights sleep. This place is beautiful. Will definitely stay again.

No negatives with this stay.

Beautiful decor, the room was immaculate and we enjoyed lovely hospitality from Kathryn and Andrew. Cobden is within 1hr driving distance of the Great Ocean Rd, Warrnambool and the Otway Ranges, making it a lovely quiet spot to rest. Will definitely be back to try a different room and enjoy the hospitality again!

Loved the charm of the property and the beautiful gardens. Breakfast was delicious and you could see it was all home made with care. Great place to stay if you like to be away from the busy GOR. Bathroom was huge and everything was clean. Living room space was warm and cozy, great for a quiet night with a cuppa.

We found the mattress to be too soft, but I do understand this is a personal preference.

Hosts were superb , professional in every way... there to help but never intrusive. Every comfort and amenity anticipated and provided.

The town of Cobden lacks good food/dining options. The nearest alternative is Camperdown and is nothing to get excited about. A light menu offered by Heytesbury House thankfully saves the day and is good quality tasty home cooking.

A lovely, peaceful location; beautiful heritage accommodation with thoughtful additions such as candles and gas flame fireplace in the sitting room. Breakfasts every morning were superb with lots of choice. Hosts are friendly, warm and welcoming.

We liked every second of our stay. It felt like being in a museum, but a very clean and comfortable one. We can highly recommend this jewel of an accommodation. Also the food provided for dinner and breakfast was simply excellent. There was absolutely nothing that could have been done better!!
