Madam Saddler | Corset Cottage

This place is incredible. So much fun. Spacious and relaxing. I'll post the contact details so you can contract directly. Sam has done an incredible, loving renovation on this building. Great to talk to about the building, his collections displayed in this home and the local area. I got to meet his son (Adorable). The extras are laid on. Good coffee (weird machine, but all explained by Sam and also how to use everything), yum biscuits, Lindt chocolate. We cooked and ate in the very private back yard. The kitchen had EVERYTHING and fun to use. The pub is good according in Google. It's a proper break from the real world. The flowers arrangements were stunning. All from their garden nearby. Sam gave them all to me when I left. Loved it. I'll definitely be back. It's close to Ballarat and that is better than Bendigo

Quaint, superbly clean, sweet little cottage- comfortable bed, magical atmosphere- ideal little getaway to unwind and recharge.Sam was most welcoming, friendly and informative about the township of Clunes and the history of the building. Very pleasant surprise. Every detail considered.

Madam Saddler is not deserving of even one star. My wife and I booked accommodation at this location back in June following a distressing family loss. We were mortified when the owner Salvador (Sam) refused to release our $250 security deposit because of some minor spotting on a sheet, which often occurs following such a loss and ordinarily rectified easily by accommodation providers with adequate laundering procedures. When I appealed and objected to how utterly unsympathetic his precious positon was to an issue that impacts half of the world’s population, he astonishingly doubled down, threatening to charge over $700 in further purchases to our credit card via the details he had on file as a result of us booking direct. It was clear he sees the security deposit as his personal piggy bank to dip into as he pleases when he exploded over a shoe mark left on the couch by the previous tenant when introducing us to the premises. Our credit card had to be cancelled and the whole experience just exasperated our stress rather than being the relaxing getaway we had hoped for. AVOID.
