Uffington House & Cottage

Summary:

Steeped in history and overflowing with character, Uffington House & Cottage is a beautifully restored 1880s cottage that offers an authentic Daylesford escape with all the comforts of modern living. Tucked away in a peaceful garden setting just moments from the summit of Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens and only a short stroll to Daylesford's vibrant cafés, restaurants, galleries and boutiques, this charming retreat perfectly blends heritage, privacy and convenience.



The Space:

Sleeping up to 7 guests across three beautifully appointed bedrooms, Uffington House & Cottage is ideal for families, couples travelling together or friends looking to experience the very best of Victoria's spa country. The property comprises the original front cottage, together with a separate bungalow nestled amongst the gardens, creating a wonderfully flexible layout that allows guests to come together while still enjoying their own private spaces.



Inside the main cottage, timeless period charm meets relaxed country comfort. High ceilings, warm timber accents and inviting living spaces create an atmosphere that immediately feels like home. Curl up beside the cosy gas fireplace with a glass of local wine after a day exploring the region, or enjoy year-round comfort with split-system heating and cooling throughout. Smart TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi ensure you can stay connected when you choose, while still embracing the slower pace that Daylesford is famous for.



The fully equipped kitchen makes entertaining easy, whether you're preparing a leisurely breakfast before heading to the Sunday Market or gathering everyone together for a relaxed dinner after visiting the region's wineries and award-winning restaurants. Share stories around the dining table before retreating to the peaceful gardens for an evening beneath the stars.



The accommodation has been thoughtfully arranged to suit a variety of groups. The front cottage offers two inviting queen bedrooms, while the separate rear bungalow provides an additional queen bed and single bed with its own bathroom, creating an ideal retreat for another couple, older children or grandparents seeking a little extra privacy. With two bathrooms and generous outdoor spaces, Uffington House & Cottage comfortably accommodates groups while allowing everyone room to unwind.



Surrounded by established gardens, the property invites guests to embrace outdoor living. Enjoy your morning coffee amongst the greenery, spend lazy afternoons reading in the sunshine or gather together for an evening barbecue in the peaceful surrounds. The tranquil garden setting creates a true sense of escape while remaining just a few minutes' walk from everything Daylesford has to offer.



One of Uffington House's most unique features is Little Uffington—the beautifully appointed rear bungalow. Available to book independently during selected midweek periods, Little Uffington comfortably accommodates up to three guests and offers couples or small groups the opportunity to enjoy this idyllic property without booking the entire estate. It's the perfect choice for romantic getaways, business travellers or a relaxing midweek escape. When you book Uffington House, however, you'll enjoy exclusive access to the entire property, including both the charming front cottage and the private rear bungalow, making it ideal for larger families and group stays.



Whether you're wandering through the nearby Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, soaking in the region's famous mineral springs, enjoying long lunches at award-winning restaurants or simply relaxing by the fire with those closest to you, Uffington House offers the perfect setting to experience the timeless charm of Daylesford.



Warm, welcoming and wonderfully positioned, Uffington House is a place where heritage character, beautiful gardens and relaxed country living come together to create an unforgettable stay.
