Our guests say it best:

“Clare Cottage is a cosy home with a touch of vintage 70’s styling. Surrounded by the forest, it’s the perfect location to switch off from the outside world. With a record player, books, board games, puzzles and a wood fire (wood was included), you can have the perfect night in. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking- utensils, pots and pans, baking dishes and even a soda stream for making drinks!”

"Clare Cottage was a beautiful and peaceful experience, being amongst the trees left me feeling strongly connected to the nature around."

"We had a perfect week at Clare Cottage, it provided a much needed respite from the busy city. The cottage was delightful, very comfortable and well equipped. Sitting out on the balcony overlooking the gorgeous forest listening to the birds was heavenly. We enjoyed a perfect mix of bushwalking, reading, eating out and checking out the lovely shops and gardens in the area."

"Our family loved our stay here. We enjoyed the fireplace, shopped local for food and played cards into the night. Very cosy and charming."

"This place was a spectacular getaway for our honeymoon. It was delightfully rainy and misty during our stay which was perfect for us because we sat inside and enjoyed the stunning nature outside of the numerous windows, cozied up beside the fireplace, played scrabble and relished in the spa tub."

"This place is a little gem! Being immersed in the forest is truly surreal, and the place is so cosy and just simply beautiful. There was great attention to every detail, from the record player and records by the fire, supplying board games, bath salts for the spa and even our preferred mili in the fridge. It was an incredibly restful and magical stay!"

Things to note:
- we do not have wifi.
- unfortunately the house isn't very accessible- there are 48 steps down through the garden to the cottage and the bedrooms are both located on the second level of the cottage.
