A beautiful place with welcoming, caring hosts. Truely amazing. Maggie greeted me on arrival, with supplies for great breakfast in the fridge and delicious home made bread. Sunday morning I was delighted with a freshly baked muffin. The cottage was spotless and very peaceful looking on to a beautifully kept parklike garden. I will come again.

A unique, cosy, comfy cottage in a great spot. Maggie and Dave are fabulous hosts. The heater was on for our arrival and we were greeted with a freshly baked loaf of bread, jams, freshly ground coffee, fruit bowl, half-dozen eggs, cereals, with home-baked muffins provided another morning

It started with meeting the hosts. They were so helpful and showed us around the property and then to our accomodation which was ideal for us. They explained to us what sights were around and nothing was to much trouble for them. I would recommend the strawbale cottages to anyone.

Frogsong Cottages are beautiful. We stayed in Yellow Cottage at the end of the row. Our lovely host left us a substantial breakfast tray of cereal, fruit, fresh bread, eggs, milk and butter. Her home baked muffins and biscuits were divine!
The cottage itself had an enough crockery, cutlery plus those extras that a traveller appreciates- a tea pot and coffee plunger, extra blankets and knee rugs to keep chills away and plenty of towels.
Our wee dog was welcomed warmly and he enjoyed a run up and down the slopes.
There is limited network coverage on this part of the world so make sure you pack a good book or enjoy the board games included in the cottage.
Altogether a very pleasant getaway!

Maggie and Dave were very welcoming and generous hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. We also really loved that during our stay there were no other guests making it a really private and tranquil stay.
Maggie made some very delicious raspberry muffins for us too, which was a delightful treat.

This was my second time staying at Frogsong and once again I was blown away. The setting is absolutely stunning, and we loved listening to the birds and frogs as we watched the sun slide through the trees from our own private sunny deck. The cottage was clean, cosy and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay (the hot water bottles were particularly appreciated!). By far the biggest stand out, as it was last time, was Maggie and Dave's hospitality. Maggie could NOT have been more welcoming, warm and accommodating if she tried. The communication leading up to our stay was excellent, and Maggie went to great lengths to ensure we found the place ok and arrived safely. The heater was on in our room, with a loaf of freshly baked bread and homemade cookies waiting for us, and on Sunday morning Maggie delivered homemade muffins (still warm from the oven) to our door. We had wonderful chats with both Dave and Maggie as they worked around the property and they made both us and our dogs feel so welcome. True hosts in every sense of the word. We very much hope to be back soon.

As Darrel would have said 'Hows the serenity!'. We got the pleasure of frog and bird songs in our cozy cabin.
Our hosts Maggie and Dave were very nice and cooked us fresh bread and muffins as well as providing us with some fantastic fruit.
The room was clean and extra towels were provided to accommodate our needs.
Overall the place was exactly what we needed.
Would stay again!

Amazing as always! We have loved our visits to this beautiful accommodation! Such incredible hosts and can't express how lovely and perfect the cottage and scenery is. We were lucky enough too meet the neighbouring horses that my daughter was smitten with. We also saw a fox taking a morning stroll and kangaroos sunbathing in the distance all from the comfort of our back porch! Will definitely return!
