Great host and great accommodation.
★ 4.0August 2026
The house was lovely with quirky furnishings. Very clean and well stocked for a weekend away and extras like G&T, eggs and milk was a lovely touch.
The third “bedroom” was a bit deceptive in the description and there was no photo. It is a crowded study/library with 2 small single sofa beds really only suitable for children.
★ 5.0August 2026
We really appreciated the warmth of the heating which had been turned on in advance of our arrival – it was cold, dark, and rainy, but the house was lovely and warm. We thoroughly enjoyed the open fire place and were left plenty of wood for our 3 night stay. Cute little house, with thoughtful extras left for us like fresh milk in the fridge to make a cup of tea! A great experience, and we really enjoyed the Daylesford area.

This house is a very old cottage that has been lovingly decorated and restored in a very “committed to vintage” style . Has a renovated bathroom and kitchen. It is cosy and cute. It was very warm with underfloor heating which was very effective. Lovely touch with gin and tonics which felt like a nice addition.
We did encounter quite a few bugs in the house… several spiders (including a large huntsman), a cockroach and fairly persistent ant invasion so couldn’t leave any food out. Would benefit from a perimeter treatment.
Note that the pull out beds are in a library not a dedicated bedroom and not really appropriate for adults. Suited our 6 year olds ok but they didn’t love the room.
Communication was really easy. It felt automated (via an agency) but had everything we needed to know.
★ 5.0July 2026
Beautiful home, even better in pictures.
When we arrived it was already warm and so cosy.
They have everything you need for a weekend away for a longer term stay. One of the best air bnbs I’ve ever stayed in.
★ 5.0July 2026
We loved staying here again. A quintessential country cottage, beautifully appointed with gramable interiors. Super comfy beds and two bathrooms with two loos is great when friends are travelling together! We’ll be back. Thanks again x

Beautiful little cottage with an open fireplace and comfortable beds. Was perfect for our girls weekend away.
★ 4.0May 2026
Quaint and eclectic, great water pressure with the shower, nice Bedlinen. Extra touch with Gin, milk and eggs available for the guest. One downside was the third bedrooms sofa beds are not suitable for adults.

★ 5.0April 2026
We enjoyed a heavenly stay at L’Papillion!
Beautiful aesthetics – delightful visual vignettes to enjoy everywhere! Singing harmonies of colour nuance – loved the blue accents in kitchen.
The cottage is ticked away from the bustle of the Main Street and so quiet but accessible to all Daylesford has to offer. It was particularly lovely to arrive in a crisp Autumn 🍂 afternoon and find the cottage Warm & cosy!
Everything spotlessly clean and bathrooms Devine! That bath! 🛁!!!
We particularly enjoyed the wild green garden views from each window – such a nourishing treat for us city dwellers!
The hosts and the community could not be more welcoming – after a four night stay we felt like we belonged!
The perfect stay!
We’ll be back as soon as we can!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Jane & Simon ♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic place, we absolutely loved our stay! Great location, gorgeous house and everything is so well thought out. The kitchen is well appointed, the heater works well, the beds and super comfy and the shower is great. We would highly recommend and would definitely return for another stay. Thanks very much!

A beautiful cottage in a sensational location! The perfect stay for a girls weekend away.
★ 5.0October 2025
Our stay at this gorgeous cottage was amazing. Every corner of the house was beautifully decorated and it felt incredibly homely. The beds were super comfy and the amenities were great! It was especially nice to sit by the fire and play board games. A very wholesome weekend, would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
★ 5.0October 2025
Lovely house, location was great. Bed linen was super luxurious (a real treat) and beds were extremely comfortable. Amazing shower with great pressure, kitchen was very cute and had everything we needed. We loved the record player and had tunes on in the background all weekend. My kids thought the house had a bit of a creepy vibe (10 & 11), but my mum and I thought it was lovely. We had a lovely time in the home and exploring Daylesford.
★ 5.0September 2025
The house was truly stunning! Two words, bespoke luxury!
★ 5.0September 2025
We loved our girls’ weekend here! The house was ready early for us, and was warm and cosy when we arrived. It was a great location, close to everything but nice and quiet. The bathrooms were beautiful, as were the finishings throughout the house.
★ 5.0August 2025
This cottage is beautifully decorated & has lots of charm. It’s in a fantastic location, only 5 mins walk from town.
The two queen beds are comfortable. The ducted heating was fantastic in winter.
The two bathrooms plus toilet are great for multiple people.
The fire was so cosy during our winter stay.
The only negatives about the stay were the furnishings in the tv room are very uncomfortable, the blinds in the bedrooms let a lot of light in and there were ants in the house.
★ 5.0August 2025
Beautiful home in a great location, thank you for a lovely stay x
★ 5.0August 2025
Great stay at this lovely cottage. Perfect winter getaway!
★ 4.0July 2025
Overall our stay was great. Nice old cottage with plenty of character. The seating throughout the cottage was extremely uncomfortable and the couch didn’t match the photos listed. We ended up having to move the fold out from the library to the living room as this was the only comfortable seating available. No smart TV is also strange given how little they cost these days. On a positive note, the beds were extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were amazing.
★ 5.0July 2025
Had such a lovely time sitting in the garden and around the fire 🙂
Charming house that’s full of character – we all definitely felt that we had “gotten away from the city”

Great weekender with a few friends, walking distance to the town and a beautiful location to wake up to. We found eggs and milk in the fridge on check in and the beds were comfy.
★ 5.0November 2024
Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated house in a great location in Daylesford. Discover Daylesford notified us that early check in was available, which was much appreciated! Please note that the fold out beds in the third bedroom are quite small and a bit rickety, although everyone ended up sleeping well. We had a lovely time, would recommend.

★ 4.5October 2024
Step back in time — Quiet location, wide range of facilities. Extensive refurbishment makes this a very comfortable place to stay!
Excellent Wifi
★ 5.0September 2024
The house was nice and warm when we arrived and beautifully designed.
The only negative is the third bedroom, which is set up in a library as an afterthought. The library is cluttered with 100s of books, a large desk and two armchairs which turn into 2 single beds. The room also doesn’t have a blind; instead, a linen press blocks the window. The owners would benefit from setting the room up as a permanent third bedroom.
Other than that, the house is in a quiet neighbourhood, the agent was very responsive, and the place has everything you need. (tea, coffee, sugar, basic cooking supplies)
★ 5.0September 2024
Had a fabulous stay. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly like the photos. Beds were fantastic. Will absolutely be back!

Wonderful stay
★ 5.0June 2024
We absolutely loved staying here. From the moment we walked in to feel the warmth of the heating and lighting that was left on for our arrival. Such a wonderful touch as it was only 15 degrees outside.
The addition of 12 eggs, a bottle of Gin, tonic water, lemon and lime left for us was such a wonderful touch and surprise.
We found ourselves lost in all of the vintage trinket displays throughout the house. From the outside you would think its a tiny cottage however its so deceiving as its a large home.
We will definitely be back to create more memories.
Thank you again

What a beautiful home to stay in whilst visiting Daylesford. This renovated workers cottage with an English garden is central to Daylesford and very easy to find. If you love vintage Australian French decore, then this is the place for you. So, so stunning, with attention to detail throughout the cottage. The beds with beautiful linens are very comfy, and it has aircon for summer and heating with a fire place for winter. There is a full kitchen also and a wonderful library. We loved our stay at L’Pappilon and will definitely be back.

We had such a beautiful stay in Daylesford. The house is so peaceful and the garden is lovely to sit in and enjoy. Being so close to the centre of town made it easy to go out and explore without driving so we could enjoy the beautiful wine and food Daylesford has to offer. We have stayed here before and will come back again. Just stunning

A stunning little cottage in a good location in Daylesford. Perfect for weekend getaways! — The cottage is quaint and well designed. Very atmospheric. The fireplace is a real feature. It was lovely that the hosts had the heating on, and the fire ready to light. The inclusion of a bottle of gin and fresh eggs was lovely! The Hale Mercantile bedlinen is an absolute luxury.

Gorgeous property, styled with fantastic attention to detail. Spacious, private and homely. Close enough to the heart of the town to feel like everything is at your fingertips, but distanced enough to feel like an oasis.

Throughly enjoyed our stay at L’Pappillon Cottage. It’s a short drive (1min) or walk (about 10mins) to town and located in a peaceful area. The cottage itself is gorgeous and well kept, with lots of charm and cozy nooks. On a practical note, it was handy having two bathrooms for the group! Daylesford is always a treat and this cottage doesn’t disappoint.

Lovely old world property. I must admit to closing the library door as the old book smell was quite strong. I majored in English Literature in my first degree, & while I love the smell of old books, I prefer not to live with it. Others may not notice though. A fantastic selection all the same. The property was very comfortable, clean, & had all that I needed for a lovely relaxed stay. Easy instructions & access via the key safe. Would recommend a stay to friends.
★ 5.0February 2023
