    Leaving

    Absolutely adorable cottage with everything you want and need for a relaxing stay with the most hospitable hosts. The breakfast basket and supplies were bountiful and delicious. From the views and freshly cooked bread and scones. Feeding the cattle if you desire or walking. Or relaxing on the verandah watching the sunset. Every room had little surprises to keep you entertained and fireplace to cosy up with.

    There was nothing to dislike

    Loved the beautiful cottage and the fire we had each afternoon while having a wine/beer. The delicious scones jam & cream that were provided by the host for afternoon tea, not to mention the breakfast food provided each morning and a bottle of wine to welcome us when we arrived ! The township of Dorrigo was also a bonus - such friendly & happy people.

    Great hospitality from Janniene and Hugh. Comprehensive and plentiful ingredients provided for self-make continental breakfast (+ eggs), freshly baked bread. Also all basic pantry supplies (milks, juice, jams, honey, oil, foil etc) were there ready to go. Lots of pods for coffee machine.

    Everything about our stay was wonderful. From the 120 year old cottage to Janniene's freshly made bread and scones and Hugh's farm tour on the quad buggie. Hugh and Janniene were absolutely lovely people and excellent hosts. It definitely was a very special stay indeed.

    Janniene and Hugh were wonderful hosts. Janniene made us afternoon tea scones while Hugh took our kids out onto the farm to meet their cows and horses. In the morning, Janniene baked us fresh sourdough bread for our breakfast. We were made to feel very welcome and special. We will definitely go back if we are in the area and highly recommend this place.

    We liked everything about this lovely country cottage. Janniene and Hugh ensured we were well fed with home baked bread and scones, and an amazing assortment of food and drink. We were welcomed home from a day hiking in cold wet weather with a roaring fire which provided a warm, cosy respite from the weather. Janniene was available to answer all of our questions in a friendly and hospitable manner. Fay's cottage is a special place and we would recommend it to anyone travelling in the Northern Tablelands.

    the most generous hosts, we felt very lucky to meet Jannienne and Hugh and share in their amazing world on the top of a hill overlooking the most beautiful countryside. plenty of provisions and kitchen made for easy cooking and relaxing. loved the scones and were lucky enough to have a farm tour as the weather held out. The most beautiful friendly cows here too. kids and I had a ball. highly recommended.

    Every was amazing and lovely. It was a tiny bit out of the way from where we had our activities booked (work conference) but this didn't dampen the experience at all.

    The views, the service and the overall welcoming feel of the cottage was lovely. The freshly baked bread was certainly a highlight. The time appropriate but modernised decor was lovely and interesting.

    Absolutely brilliant. A true gem. Highly recommend and already planning my return visit. The lovely cottage is outstanding, beautifully decorated, well equipped, extremely comfortable with a front verandah and views overlooking paddocks and rolling hills. I had a most enjoyable 2 night stay and could easily have enjoyed much longer. Location was quiet and incredible Hugh and Janniene are lovely and so easy to talk too. They gave me great advice on places to go and see. Loved talking with them. The tour of the farm was great and Johhnie (dog) so friendly. Fresh baked scones , fresh baked bread and breakfast supplies were incredible and delicious. One of the best bnb's l have stayed in and l have stayed in many all over Australia.

    Fay’s Cottage is everything you dream of when you book a stay in the country: the view will take your breath away, you will be warmly welcomed by Janniene and Hugh, you will eat homemade scones and bread - the best you’ve ever tasted and Hugh will even take you around to see his cattle. You will feel connected and restored.
