What a wonderful place to stay in the middle of the forest. A peaceful and restful place to get away from everything. The cottage itself is lovely with everything you need, spacious and clean and private. Loved the decor and the clawfoot bath. Next time we would take all our food with us as the nearest small store is 20 mins away and the nearest restaurants are 40 minutes away. Would definitely stay here again.
We really loved our stay! Nick and Adam were such welcoming and helpful hosts and the cottage and grounds were stunning! The cottage was beautifully clean, well equipped and so inviting. We really enjoyed being able to experience so much nature without needing to go anywhere but equally the convenience to be able drive only a few minutes to see the beautiful waterfalls and more of what nature had to offer elsewhere. We are looking forward to a longer stay next time!
