Pros:

1. The cooked breakfast was a highlight for us, and the female staff member who greeted and served us was friendly and professional.
2. Although the weather was cold, the Keepers Cottage was surprisingly warm.
3. The mini fridge was of excellent quality, with space for tall bottles/wine bottles.
4. Comfortable selection of pillows.

Cons:

1. At check-in, the man at the reception desk directed all questions and conversation to my husband, although it was clear that the booking was in my name (female). A small issue perhaps, but it felt rude from the female perspective.
2. The Keepers Cottage bathroom at first glance looks pretty but sadly is not functional. It looks great in the advertising photos but in fact the tiles are covered in smeared grout that was not cleaned correctly when being installed. Due to the location at the rear of the property, the hot water takes a long time to reach the cottage. Note, once it does arrive, it is very hot with good pressure which is a plus. The shower curtain and small drain do not stop the water in the shower from leaking out across the floor so once the shower is used you get wet feet whenever you need to use the sink or toilet. The sink looks cute, but is too small for such an oversized tap. You cannot easily brush your teeth or wash your face without hitting your head on the tap or getting water all over the sink top and floor. The fan does not work and the bathroom windows are covered in spiderwebs from the outside so don't look nice. It's a shame because it has such potential to be a lovely bathroom. Needs a bit more attention to detail and perhaps a shower screen of some sort.
3. The parking area needs better gravel or road base to prevent it from becoming muddy in the rain. Our shoes were all covered in mud as there was no way to avoid it and get in the car. The car mats are now covered in mud too.
4. The bed was very soft which for some might be perfect. For us, it was not supportive enough and resulted in sore backs.
5. The laundry trollies are stored behind the Keepers Cottage so you do hear them being rolled away at the end of the day. The last one was at about 8.30 pm so it did not disturb our sleep but is not very romantic to hear.

Restful
Pros:

We hoped that a little getaway in Bowral would help us recharge and have some peaceful rest. It definitely did and partly thanks to our stay at Links House. The room was great, we loved the complementary breakfast and enjoyed the walk to go to the town centre. What a lovely trip, we definitely recommend!

Cons:

Not staying longer ;)

Very pleasant staff with a lovely ambient setting.
Pros:

The location was very good, and the service was excellent. We were given plenty of information on arrival and made to feel welcome.

Cons:

The room had a big step in it with no automatic floor light to show your way in the dark, so you had to remember it was there!
