Fabulous holiday

From our arrival to our departure we were delighted with the cottage. Such a wonderful ambience ...quietly elegantly country decor and furnishings with a lovely vintage touch. Every appliance that we could could possibly want and the heated floor in the bathroom was just delicious. Ample heating choices but It was so delightful to come "home after our exploring of the area and light the fire and enjoy the cosiness. We had such a delightful visit. Thank you so much.

We had an excellent stay at Rydal Cottage. Everything was lovely and clean and the fire was very appreciated. Our little dog had a great time exploring the beautiful surrounding gardens.

Very restful and quiet location would recommend to anyone.

Always greatest stay in Rydal

This property surpassed our expectations, the cottage was warm and cosy and beautifully decorated, it was very well appointed in addition. The gardens were a delight and our kelpie Ellie was ecstatic with the spaciousness and variety of plants, birds and trees. The evenings were surreal with the many ambient lights throughout the garden all under the inky black skies shimmering with zillions of bright stars. And the air is so clean, fresh and invigorating. A wonderful place to relax!

Lovely cozy small house wit beautiful garden

Thankyou Carol for sharing lovely cottage and beautiful garden with us and our Jack Russell - easy access and everything we needed for a few days to explore the area .

The cottage & the beautiful garden it is set in is a perfect escape, and the fact it is dog-friendly, is a major bonus. Everything you need is provided, and it is immaculate.

We chose Rydal Cottage because we needed some peaceful time away from our busy city lives, and that’s exactly what we got! The cottage is quaint and nestled in the most beautiful gardens. Lovely to have a local pub in walking distance to have a quiet beer and a meal. We did a bit of discovering of the local towns and even visited the Hydro Majestic. The cottage had everything we needed.

A warm and cosy cottage holding very possible item you could ever need and set in a charming garden.

Rydal cottage was the perfect country escape from Sydney. It was away from the summer ☀️ heat. I slept very peacefuly in the fresh air. The bath was relaxing and the fire 🔥 kept it cosy.

The cottage was so cute and welcoming. Loved everything about it and the gardens. Would love to return in a different season to see how the garden changes.

This was a lovely cottage set in a spectacular garden. A highlight of every day was the visits from the local king parrots every afternoon. The location was a great base to explore that particular corner of the mountains/central west.

Overall, quite an enjoyable stay. Our dog loved the space to run around, as well as the opportunity to sit on the sofa (with sheets provided). The garden was beautiful, as were the flowers. We were also kindly given a late checkout. Nb - our dog ran off to the owner’s house a few times which wasn’t a massive issue - but would be good to have a fence in between ‘our space’ and the common areas/owner’s space. Also, would be good if could just leave the dishwasher on prior to leaving (vs also needing to empty). Small issue but just wanted to note. But overall, we enjoyed it. :)

A little cocoon in a country oasis. Love this little cottage. Stayed here last year too.

This was our 5th year in a row staying in the cottage. It’s always a relaxing stay and everything is easy from booking through to check-in. It’s only a short drive from Sydney so should visit for a recharge more often

It's like I am in the fairy tale.

The spacious garden was a surprise, and added to the joy of staying at the property. Our dog loved a leisurely walk through the garden on her own each day. As a general note signposting in the area could be improved - not Rydal but directions out of Rydal

My hubby and I had such a relaxing stay . The gardens are so beautiful and we enjoyed our breakfast on the verandah overlooking the gardens with the king parrots. Our little dog loved the freedom to roam within the well fenced property. Thanks Carol.

My partner and I stayed here for a couple of nights with our 2 dogs (amstaff and kelpie). We were a little apprehensive about how secure to fence was on this large property, so we walked the boundary before letting them off their leads, BUT it was VERY secure and we were very impressed and couldn't be happier to see our pups living their best lives, running around like maniacs hehe. It truly IS doggy heaven! The main residence is on the property too with no fencing around us or them, but we were totally left to ourselves and had total privacy and full use of the stunning land. For us, the cottage and landscape was magic - everything you could possibly wish for, we didn't want to leave. We will most definitely be coming back here over and over again. Thank you so much for hosting us Carol 😊

We loved our weekend at Rydal Cottage. Everything was as described. The cottage is comfortable and well provisioned. Carol's care and attention to detail are obvious.

A lovely well appointed and comfortable cottage in a quiet country setting. Perfect to relax and take some quiet moments.

We'd never been to Rydal before and we absolutely loved our weekend stay! The cottage was comfortable with all the comforts. The highlight for us though was the most glorious garden. Sitting out on the loungers just taking in all the foliage was so relaxing. Definitely recommend Rydal Cottage!!

Property owner was wonderful and extremely helpful with everything and all I can say is a big thank you I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a good place to enjoy

A lovely little cottage in the peaceful village Rydal. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well heated with plenty of firewood for the big fireplace, heated floors in the bathroom and heating in every room. The area is a truely breath taking part of NSW. The host was friendly and accommodating but gave plenty of privacy. The dogs had a great time exploring the huge, well fenced gardens.

Carol is the best, your dog will love the property.

The property was lovely, clean and very comfortable it had everything we needed for a fabulous stay. Gardens are beautiful and very well maintained. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back one day. Highly recommend.

A relaxing weekend in Rydal Cottage, sitting by the fire and beautiful gardens. Rydal is a quaint village away from the hustle and bustle of other villages in the blue mountains. Carol is a wonderful host.

We had a great time at Carol’s place. The cottage is luxuriously comfortable-loved the log fire and the beautiful garden and the walks around the lovely little village with its historic railway station. Molly really enjoyed her walks in the area too.

Fell in love with the cottage and the grounds, the whole area is beautiful. Cosy nights by the fire and loads to explore. Had an amazing weekend and wouldn’t hesitate to come again! Thank you!
