Birdsong Cottage 10

Birdsong cottage is a beautiful home from home, comprising 3 en suite bedrooms, comfortably sleeping six people.  We have recently extended this by building a freestanding one-bedroom suite overlooking the forest below effectively making the property either a 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom option. 

We also rent the one-bedroom unit, the perfect honeymoon destination,  as an option for 2 people.

Please note that the base rate listed on this website is for the 6-sleeper main house. Please contact us for any quotations for either the 8-sleeper or the 2-sleeper.
