I did not want to leave.

Wren Cottage was a perfect R & R for us. The facilities were excellent, the fireplace kept us warm, the night skies a delight. A great place to escape. The in-room dinner was so delicious and there were plentiful and fabulous supplies for our breakfasts.

This is a well presented property, in a quiet location, still close to all the areas of interest in the Clare region. Well provisioned for breakfast, clean tidy and plenty of heating for cold nights.

We stayed for 6 nights and was surprised to receive fresh towels on the fifth day rather than a little earlier.

Great private locarion (no neighbours). We stayed in "Owl" cottage and the other cottage was not within sight. Excellent breakfast provisions. Very good location for everything in the Clare region. Also a visit or 2 to the vineyard resturant is highly recommended.

We loved the great location amongst the vines at Skillogalee. It was a wonderful sunny spot for a private family group stay.

A lovely cottage amongst the gum trees in the heart of the Clare Valley wineries. Well supplied with a platter, fruit bowl and a bottle of Skillogalee Estate wine, along with supplies for breakfast. Our group of 4 loved it.

Beautiful cottage, spacious and well equipped. We’ll set up for all climates with a lovely deck for all fresco dining to enjoy the peaceful countryside and birdsong. There’s a log burning fire for cosy cooler evenings too. The supplies left for breakfast were very generous with lots of choice. The “Almost Ready” meal that was delivered to our room was very easy to put together, delicious and made for a very relaxed evening. The cellar door was just a short walk from the cottage, nice not to have to take the car!

The only downfall was the different levels of the house, lots of stepping up and down to rooms - but you get this with an old house; and when staying there you just need to be mindful of this.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at Skillogalee House - It was a very comfortable property, with plenty of space for everyone. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms functional , the kitchen very well equipped and full of wonderful provisions for breakfast, snacks and complimentary Skillogalee wine which was superb. The location is stunning, and very peaceful overlooking the valley of vines. Highly recommend.

Everything was lovely but could have made it clearer if we could drink the water or not - we boiled it. A few pegs to hang out washing would have been good.

A very comfortable cabin with a great cheese platter to welcome us plus fantastic breakfast supplies and a bottle of wine and lots of soft drinks plus all the condiments for cooking our own dinner - very impressive!!

Would have appreciated some air freshener for the toilet!!!!!

The breakfast was excellent, except we were Pescatarian, so no meat was needed. The fruit bowl and biscuits were delicious and the little jams were yummy. Eggs were beautiful, tea and coffee, great, also, the home made bread was very nice and appreciated. Well stocked pantry was great too. I like the new look furniture, not into the old cottage look furniture that's very dated. Bath was nice to have. Privacy was appreciated and the deck was nice. The beds were very comfortable. Overall nicely equipped and very well furnished. A nice surprise to walk into!

The location among the rolling hills and vineyards of the Clare valley. The access to the walking trails. The privacy and quietness. The excellent comfort and facilities provided. The little extras that the hosts supplied and the attention to detail which far exceeded our expectations such as breakfast provisions, cheeseboard, wine, milk, juices, jams along with excellent cooking utensils. What a superbly presented property and could not fault. Will look forward to a return visit.

Wonderful secluded location, comfortable cottage with all required appliances and excellent ‘breakfast’ supplies that satisfied for much longer!

The address on booking.com was for the winery cellar door not the cottage so in the pitch black dark of night it was a little hard to find the correct cottage. With the help of google maps we found our “Owl” cottage after about 20 mins of driving around.

We arrived late at night , no problem as we let ourselves in with the lock box key. I opened the fridge and was pleasantly surprised to see the supplies for a cooked breakfast. Everything we needed was supplied. Such a great bonus. Beautiful bush setting. Comfy beds. Our family had a wonderful 3 days here. Would highly recommend.

a little outdated but didnt really matter lovely to be there

Very peaceful location and very thoughtful with the flowers, condiments and generosity of food for breakfast and bottle of wine, cheese and biscuits

One of the bedrooms had glass panels in the door making it completely public, we hung a dressing gown strategically so we could get changed etc :) The bedrooms are super small and very little space for travel cases. The bathroom could have done with a bench or shelf too.

Breakfast was super generous and yummy. The location and view was amazing, even better than expected! Oh and the winery, was a standout in the Clare, and we visited a few so could make a good comparison. It's a must to have lunch there too.

We had such a lovely stay at Skillogalee. The homestead is in a beautiful setting overlooking the vineyard and dam and is a real old country house with newer living room addition. It’s very peaceful and lovely to go for walks at dusk and in the mornings. Our group had a wonderful time here. Breakfast and other provisions were beyond generous. Loved our stay. Than you!
