Didn’t know we’d have no reception and the wifi wouldn’t work in our room so had no wifi all weekend and could only get in contact with people outside the campground unfortunately otherwise was a good weekend thank you!!"

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

10/10 Excellent
"Stunning place to spend a long weekend. Penny has put a lot of work into the space and was a delightful host. The cottage was the perfect space for our family of four and had everything we could need for the few days. The children loved wandering around the gardens and spotting bunnies and ducklings, and the pool was a big hit. We loved the peacefulness away from the busy cities and would highly highly recommend."
