This home is absolutely stunning. The sun drenched back room was awesome to enjoy our morning coffee. The kitchen offered everything we needed and more. the whole house was tastefully renovated without being modernised and losing its beautiful country charm. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful. The home is in a great area while being a nice walk into town. The bedroom to bathroom ration was amazing for a group of middle aged ladies. A place we just didn't want to leave.

Great Stay

Heaton Cottage is a great place for groups to stay. The cottage and adjacent rooms are perfect for groups of friends (or family) and the cottage itself is charming, well presented, comfortable and very private. We had 4 couples stay for 3 nights and had no issues at all.The cottage is within walking distance of town and has all the amenities you would hope for.We would recommend Heaton Cottage to anyone.

The perfect property in a perfect location

We were a group of 6 people staying in Mudgee for a birthday weekend. We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay. The cottage is beautifully furnished and maintained, with incredibly comfortable beds, chairs sofas etc. It is perfectly located, being just over a 10 minute walk into town, but the property location is stunning, peaceful and tranquil. I wish we could have stayed longer, but will definitely be back!

Fabulous Girl’s weekend

We are nine ladies who have just spent a fabulous long Weekend in beautiful Heaton cottage. The location is perfect, we walked into town to go shopping. The gardens are spectacular and we sat down next to the river most afternoons and it was just beautiful. The beds are all really comfortable. And the house is gorgeous. I have stayed there before and hopefully will stay there again.

Great long weekend

We stayed with our family in the cottage for a wedding. The house was well equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. The grounds looked beautiful but unfortunately unable to enjoy with rain the whole time. Very close to the shops. We would stay again with a group next time in Mudgee

Perfect cosy winter getaway

We are a group of friends who enjoy regular country getaways. Heaton Cottage was perfect for our group with most being able to have their own rooms. There were so many lovely inclusions including farm fresh eggs and a fully prepared open fire which we used a lot. The house has lovely grounds and is located a short walk from town. Julie was delightful to deal with and the house is very well appointed with comfortable beds. We would highly recommend a stay at Heaton Cottageincluding

A perfect weekend home

We stayed at Heaton Cottage as a small work-friend getaway, which was absolutely perfect. Julie is an excellent host, and the house is exceptionally well-presented and equipped - especially for a larger group of adults who want personal space. Each room had a comfy queen bed, and it was excellent to have breakie supplies provided, which is increasingly absent in other short-term listings. The grounds are immaculately maintained, and it is so close to town, yet it feels like you're in the country. I highly recommend and would love to come back

Mudgee town haven

The whole family came to Mudgee for a wedding and had a wonderful stay at Heaton cottage. Everything was perfect from the spacious sun lit living areas to the beautiful ample grounds, the chickens and the River on the boundary. Hosts Julie and John were very helpful. Highly recommended.

Girls weekend and it hit the mark

We were a group of five multi-generational adult women and were excited to find accommodation that offered separate bedrooms for all of us. The communication prior to our stay was brilliant and we all felt so welcomed to this absolutely gorgeous accommodation. The spaces and inclusions at the property made it so easy to stay. THANK YOU!

Wonderful

Beautiful property, the kids loved the chickens, grounds and river at the back. The rooms and living areas were comfortable, very spacious and lots of lovely areas to sit for some quiet time or hang out as a group. Everywhere was warm enough. The fire was glorious and every bedroom had electronic blankets and heaters so no one was cold. We loved our stay and we’re swept away by the beauty of the place. Thank you for having us 😊
