    All in all, our stay at the cottage was nothing short of perfect. It was a tranquil retreat that allowed us to reconnect with nature and each other. We cannot wait to return to this little slice of paradise in the countryside

This is the most idyllic get-away-from-it-all self-catering cottage in the Midlands. This private, secluded and secure home away from home is detailed with grey sandstone and bag-washed brickwork. You have your own panoramic view from the patio over the property’s private trout dam. This spotless two-bedroom cottage has been lovingly and immaculately finished. The wooden-beamed ceilings, cosy Jetmaster fireplace and marble-topped kitchen are complimented with antique furnishings throughout. Both rooms are en-suite. For the real romantics, the main bedroom also has a deep Victorian ball-and- claw bath. The quality bed linen is underpinned by dual-control electric blankets. Extra soft and warm blankets also make sure you stay cosy. The kitchen is completely equipped. There’s also a weber braai and free firewood.
