“An idyllic forest hideaway in a perfect location”
Beautiful location, so remote, and yet not too far away from places of interest. We loved the big window into the forest, and the mossy ground near the outdoor table set.

“Gorgeous location and cottage.”
Walking into the cottage after a long drive, heater on and soft music playing. Unreal. Highly recommend anybody else trying it out. Was a fantastic weekend away.

“Romantic, Clean and memorable”
Everything was perfect, from the cozy fireplace to the Large spa we had a nice romantic getaway which was memorable and overdue. The bed was comfy and the sheets and linen felt luxurious. We will be back and highly recommend this accommodation. We got out the scrabble and games which was nice for us to connect and have time off our phones

“very disappointing, would not recommend”
The view from the bedroom was amazing. Emelia from Valley Ranges Getaways was amazing moving us to a more acceptable accomodation the following day after the issues we encountered, Highly recommend Valley Ranges Getaways but would not recommend Cottage in the Forest

“A sweet cottage excellent for short stays where a laundry might not be needed where there are driveway issues but endles”
We arrived a few days before our wedding and were very, very surprised and delighted to find a beautiful bunch of flowers and drinks and food waiting for us. Thank you for these thoughtful touches. We had a planned power outage on our first full day there and the owner came and set up a generator for us which we found amazingly helpful. The view from the main bedroom window is TO DIE FOR.

“FOREST PERFECTION”
This cottage is magic! If you are wanting to feel immersed in the forest, look no further. The fire place was beautiful with more than enough supplies. The kitchen was well equiped for cooking a meal, also breakfast hamper was a nice touch. Bathroom was very clean also. Extra points for the extensive DVD collection which felt like a trip back to the early 2000s. Can’t wait to visit again.
