Mini break with our furkids

Cozy Cottage

A very enjoyable stay in a cozy cottage, ideal for couples as it is located some 15 minutes from Lithgow and an easy drive to Katoomba, the heart of the Blue Mountains. The gardens and wildlife surrounding the cottage are spectacular.

Lovely Cosy Cottage

We enjoyed another fabulous weekend at Rydal Cottage. The Cottage is cosy, warm and beautifully decorated. It was a perfect getaway for a cold winter weekend and we enjoyed drinks in front of the fire in the evenings and early morning walks in the village with our dog Monty. We highly recommend this place. Thank you so much Carol.

Quiet country getaway

The cottage is cosy, roomy and comfortable and nestled in a small village at the end of a country lane. We enjoyed the gardens, hedges, gravel drive, jonquils and grevillea in bloom. It was great to breathe the fresh, wintry country air and be far enough away from nearby towns to enjoyed a complete change of pace. We would happily stay again.

Perfect hideaway

Wonderful petite cottage just right for a lovely relaxing escape. Our fur baby loved it the most I think taking full advantage of the safe expansive gardens and the toasty warm nights in front of the roaring log fire. Highly recommended

Amazing Property and Host

Such a charming property and great host. Everything you’d expect from the listing is what we got. This property made me consider country living that’s how nice it is. Definitely recommend for a couples retreat. FYI the internet is NBN satellite so don’t try to do too much with it but that’s not the property’s fault. 10/10!

Quiet, Peaceful Location

The cottage was perfect for a few days away to relax. It had everything you would need. The garden was fantastic for our 2 dogs to explore. The cottage was clean and tidy in a quiet location to really relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of the city. If you need a few days to recharge this is the place to go. We will be back as we have stayed previously and thoroughly enjoyed the serenity of Rydal.

Perfect Getaway

We had a great time, the grounds are beautiful with lots of little gardens and different places to sit. Fully fenced, even for small doggo’s, our cavoodle was well contained. Perfect place to relax! The cottage was cute, cozy, nicely renovated and very clean. Carol is an attentive host, we had an issue gaining access to a wood shed, and she was very prompt in replying and sorting it out for us. We will be back!
