Being Scottish expats, Highlander's Retreat sounded like the perfect place for Mum's 83rd Birthday... and it was! Beautiful touches throughout the cottage. Super comfortable furniture & beds & very spacious for 6 adults. Stunning scenery that would change with every season / weather. Stunning sunrises & sunsets with finches, wrens & wagtails galore. You could visit 4 times in a year & have 4 different experiences.... lovely in all temperatures for different reasons. I would challenge anyone not to love a few days here.

Our group of four adult friends and two spoilt oodles spent a long weekend at Highlander's Retreat as a celebration of a special birthday. Everything about the property was completely perfect.
The home is as beautiful as the pictures suggest (to get a real feel for how lovely it is check out the better and bigger selection of pics on the "other" holiday booking site). There are several outdoor and indoor areas to relax, celebrate or just soak up the sunshine, peace and beauty of the property.
The kitchen is fabulous for creating special celebration meals with everything you could need plus lots of basics in the pantry ready to go.
We picked the sweetest oranges I've ever tasted from the front garden and orchard, played badminton in the garden and spent hours chatting, star gazing by the firepit and playing boardgames on the deck.
We slept in gorgeous comfy beds with top quality linen and enjoyed having a bathroom per couple.
Leighton and Kathy are so welcoming in all their communication that you feel like it's your home and they truly want you to enjoy every moment you are there.
We didn't do much in the local area, having the two dogs meant no walking in the National Parks but we knew that well in advance and were happy to wander on the farm or do very little and let go of the rush of our busy lives for a couple of days. We've all come home so relaxed with many happy memories and our diaries firmly in our hands trying to decide when we can go again.

Heavenly
The Highlanders Retreat is nestled amongst rolling green hills and big open skies. The landscape is breathtaking and its easy to relax and soak in all the sights and sounds of nature. The house is large but cosy at the same time. Well appointed with everything you need for a home away from home feeling. The mattresses , bed linen and pillows are perfect luxury for a good nights sleep . We sat at the outdoor table every meal to take in the scenery and watched the galahs and rosellas feed at the bird table. This place feels loved and cared for by the owners and happy that they want to share it with others. We will definitely be back . Thank-you

Beautiful house and surrounds. Great for families, very child-friendly. Lots of space for children to run around and explore. The house exceeded our expectations (photos on stayz.com doesn't do it justice!). There is pretty much everything you need, making it a lovely country getaway for the weekend. Location was perfect, not too far from Gloucester town and a reasonable drive to the Barrington Tops. Leighton (owner) was very responsive and easy to communicate with. It was wonderful weekend had by all and we plan to be back again =)

School holiday break in the country
We had a great time, visiting with another family. The house was bigger than we expected from the photos and the property is very well looked after. Everything we needed was there.
The couple of small issues we had were solved very quickly.
The views are amazing as were the sunsets. Would happily recommend.
