I am a solo traveller and my holiday accommodation is without doubt as important as the location.
I most definitely wasn't disappointed with my choice of Pomegranate Cottage.
The cottage is lovely, spotless clean, comfortable & tasteful. It is well equipped, with all the little extras that make it a holiday home rather than a holiday let.
The garden wraps around the cottage & throughout the day there is always a sunny or shady spot. There are fruit trees in the garden, lovely for breakfast with some fresh bread.
The location is perfect, with a pleasant 10 minute stroll into town. During my stay there was a family of storks in a nest on top of a pole en -route to the supermarket. From the cottage I could see the adult birds circling round in the early evening.
The town is great, with plenty of trips on offer, a good choice of places to eat, excellent public transport, & there was an open air concert one evening in the town square while I was there.
I booked Pomegranate Cottage 15 months ahead of my travel date, I wanted 2 weeks to watch the World Cup in peace.
Hilary answered my initial enquiry promptly, the booking was easy & Hilary kindly arranged very satisfactory airport transfers for me.
Her neighbours Barbara & John are a lovely couple, on hand for advice, but never intrusive.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Pomegranate Cottage, I want so much more than just a holiday base & the cottage certainly offers that.
Many thanks Hilary

We had a truly wonderful holiday in Pomegranate Cottage. I love the house and I especially love the garden. Dalyan is a magical place and I definitely intend to return there at some point.
Barbara & John were lovely, friendly neighbours and we enjoyed meeting and talking to them.
Many thanks for enabling us to discover Dalyan. My children said it was their "best holiday ever"!!!

We stayed at your cottage from 28th September-2nd November 2009
We have been to Dalyan 4 times but this was the best holiday ever.
The cottage is set in a rural village with cows,goats,chickens,and the smells of the countryside. The people in the village were very friendly to us.We were lucky to see a traditional wedding while we were there just across from the cottage
The cottage had grapes growing round the gates and there were pomagranate and orange trees in fruit in the garden.
We loved the relaxed feeling and for our first week we seemed to sleep a lot but then you realise just how tired you were before you came to Dalyan and then felt ourselves drifting into Dalyan time.
We were very comefortable and everything that we could possibly need and more besides had already been thought of by Hilary.
We had a wonderful time and hope to return to Dalyan again.

Just wanted to say what a brilliant time my friend and I had at Pomegranate Cottage. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the river, town centre and restaurants. The cottage was well equipped and like home from home and Barbara and John next door were really welcoming, helpful and friendly. I am really looking forward to going back.

I came back at the end of May, from a wonderful holiday in Pomegranate Cottage and I am still enjoying the vivid memories of magnificent scenery and friendly people.The cottage is so beautifully in keeping with a holiday in Turkey I just cannot wait to book my next holiday. The garden affords all types of out door lounging.
The trees allow for shade but just a move to the right or left and the glorious sun shines down.
I was wise enough to purchase Bio Astin from Lifelong products and rejoiced in not one sign of prickly heat, which is a skin problem I had always suffered from if exposed to the sun.Thank you Hilary for a wonderful holiday and thank you Lifelong products for a rash free holiday.I will be back!!

I stayed at Pomegranate Cottage in 2006 and had a fantastic holiday.
Dalyan is a beautiful place to visit and there is a lot to do. Obviously there are the beach, river and lake but there is also the countryside to go exploring. Or just wander around the quiet streets near to the Cottage and you will see everyday Turkish life and be greeted by friendly waves and smiles.
From the cottage, it is only a short level walk into Dalyan town, where you will find shops bars and restaurants. There’s also the dolmus station where you can catch local minibuses to go further afield.
You will find everything you need in the cottage and if its relaxation you are after it is perfect. Relax in the shady garden or nip next door to Ali Baba to have a swim or a beer.
Oh and one more suggestion - get your bearings when you arrive by taking a microlite flight over Dalyan - amazing! And then have breakfast next door at Gulbasha's, where you can have great fresh food and then lie on cushions next to the river and relax.
I will be back this year!!

From the friendly meeting at the airport to the smoothly organized departure, our week at Pomegranate cottage was all pleasure. The traditional Turkish house has been sensitively modernised to provide all comforts and conveniences within a traditional ambience, and everything we required was just as and where it should be, and of course you have the lovely pool and poolside bar at the Ali Baba just round the corner, where lovely Miriam will make you feel at home.
We liked the location too, in a quiet corner of the village amongst local people, and just a short stroll from the centre and the riverside, a most enjoyable stroll at that, meeting and greeting along the way friendly people and dogs and cats and once a tortoise!
Be sure to discover the little pancake place on the way, great for breakfast! The unassuming little family-run restaurant in the trees by the roundabout is not to be missed for an evening meal. Real Turkish food, simply superb, and wonderful hospitality.
As a base from which to explore the unique delights of Dalyan, Pomegranate Cottage would be hard to beat, our only regret was not having more time to enjoy it!
Thanks and All The Best,
Gavin, Christine and John Clarke
