A Home Away From Home at Gentle Presence Cottages ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

10.0

Pat is absolutely brilliant! She made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived until the day we left. By the end of our stay, we were genuinely sad to leave because it truly felt like a home away from home. Pat went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, settled in, and had everything we needed for our trip. We spent my fiancé's birthday here, and on our last day she came to say goodbye with such a thoughtful gift. It was an incredibly kind gesture that really touched us and made our stay even more special. The property itself is absolutely stunning—warm, cosy, beautifully maintained, and boasting breathtaking views of the mountains. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.

Amazing host and amazing place to stay

Bathrooms were a bit small for a tall person but no deal breaker.

It was a cosy historic home with great Mountain View’s and close to Clarens centre.

Walking into town was a sharp uphill on a very uneven road but that’s just me being lazy!
