Reviewed Aug 31, 2026Place was warm and cosy bed was so comfortable and shower pressure was great!
The lockbox was a lil tricky to open, the view of the river isn't quite like the photos and when it was windy the door banged abit. Otherwise I loved it!

Reviewed Jan 19, 2026Lovely and cosy cottage, Felt so at home we were lucky enough to stay an extra night. the place was tidy and clean. very functional. Great location. We will definatly book this cottage again next time we come to Hamilton.
Maybe a mirror in the. room with king single bed. Maybe in the lounge too just for easier places to do hair and makeup while someone else is using the bathroom. Lounge rug looks lovely but found it a bit of a nuisance having to straighten it and a bit of a tripping hazard. They are only suggestions and as stated above we would definatly stay there again and highly recommend the Orange Cottage !

Reviewed Sep 7, 2025For our 2 night stay, it had all we needed. The weather was cold but the house was warm and comfortable. Beds cuddly warm. Nice morning sun in the bathroom. Well stocked and loved the thoughtful treats. Thank you. Location instructions - good, loved the stand-out colour. Excellent compendium - was very useful. Cafe across the road looked inviting but didn't manage to get there. Home away from home for future trips - TICK.
Would have liked a firmer pillow for one of us. Struggling to find anything we didn't like.
