A beautiful country escape
The cottage has a very European feel. The hostess greated us onsite and was friendly and welcoming. The house is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Our daughter was delighted by the rotunda/summer house. A wonderful and memorable stay.

Delightful retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kentisbury house. Everything from our hostess to the beautiful peaceful surroundings to the gorgeous house and comfortable bed was delightful. The only sad thing about our stay was leaving, because it was so wonderful. Can't recommend it enough.

Fab 5 Sister's reunion Kentish Countryside
Melissa was easy to communicate with, always getting back promptly with any questions I had prior to our arrival and it was lovely to meet her when we checked in. A wonderful setting in serene countryside. The french inspired touches throughout the property made it such a pleasure to relax and take in the view. We especially loved the outside dining table with view to Lake Barrington. Plenty of towels and amenities

Beautiful
A fantastic property to stay at. We felt like we were in a French country house. There were beautiful views from every window and the home itself was very comfortable and tastefully appointed. We enjoyed being in the local area for three days with plenty to keep us busy. Our host Melissa was lovely and we hope to visit again next time we are in Tasmania.

Loved Everything About This Place! Spectacular Views!
What a find this Kentish Country House was! We (3 adults and 1 teenagers) spent a glorious two nights here – but wished we could spend more. We booked the house based on its proximity to Cradle Mountain and the town of Sheffield. The location was a short drive to Cradle Mountain and offered the convenience of restaurants and shops in quaint town of Sheffield nearby. It’s obvious that Melissa has dedicated a lot of time in the layout and decor to make this house amazing. You will want for nothing when you stay at this delightful home. Comfortable, warm and well-appointed, the furnishings are luxurious with everything themed and very clean. You are spoilt for choice for rooms to relax in. The rotunda is stunning we enjoyed spending our early evening in this room. The kitchen has every amenity you could ask for, with Melissa offering to accommodate should something be missing. We loved the big long dining table and the church pew. The setting is in a beautiful scenic valley and the grounds of the house are surrounded by trees with that offer amazing Autumn colours. Can honestly say it was one of the nicest places we have experienced. Thank you Melissa.

A lovely stay!
Upon arrival, Melissa arrived to provide a warm welcome and short tour of the home. The property is extremely clean... and we're clean freaks ourselves so that says alot. The bed is so comfortable! We got supplies in Sheffield and cooked at home both nights as the kitchen is really great and has everything you need to cook a meal. We had dinner outside on the alfresco while watching the beautiful views. House is big for just the two of us, but a family would also be very comfortable with lots of space in the home! Great stay... we'll be back again.

This is an idyllic cottage set in beautiful countryside. Perfect tranquil getaway.
The property was dreamy. Melissa is very friendly and a helpful hostess.. It’s located in a fantastic garden and close for walks on Mt Roland and and hour from Cradle Mountain. My husband and I would love to go back and spend more time there- hard to leave.

Just lovely
A stunning home, comfortable and everything you need. I would recommend taking your own food to cook up a storm in the lovely kitchen, or use the bbq. Beautiful dining spots inside and out. The town has very limited (and not always open) options.
