I would have stayed a week if I could have! More time to enjoy more cups of tea on the deck with the sound of birdsong and the gently flowing river below. This place is idyllic. Feels like the most secluded, peaceful place, but 5 minutes drive from the nearest pub or bakery.
The owners were helpfully responsive to my email enquiry before our stay, but left us alone to enjoy the experience when we were there. The cottages are well away from the house and the garden is designed so that the cottages are fairly private from each other.

Barrington Hide-away Cottage was perfect for our stay. Clean and cosy, peaceful, abundant birdlife from our verandah and, the best for us, spotting a platypus in the river! Thank you Paul and Sue.

Fantastic accommodation within a short drive of Gloucester. Set on the banks of the river you feel like you are miles from anywhere. Cottage is well appointed and a thoroughly enjoyable place to stay. Would highly recommend this property

This place is amazing. It was hot but of an afternoon a beautiful breeze from the river. We even saw a platypus. This accomodation has everything even good coffee. The only downfall was no ceiling fan in the bedrooms , which would have helped while sleeping. we have already recommended this property to our neighbours who are thinking of going to Glouster.

Lovely cottage on the river
Really an outstanding place to stay -- beautiful location, lovely outdoor deck for breakfasts with the birds singing, overlooking the bubbling river. Very comfortable. The host was very gracious, providing any assistance we needed and even posting us an item we forgot to bring home.
There is indeed a platypus in the river that is possible to see at late dusk, but very hard to photograph.
We had a great time, loved the veranda, amazing wildlife so close and beautiful creek. Went fishing but no luck.
Shall return to see the Platypus in the creek.
We went to celebrate a birthday. Our choice of venue was superb. Our accommodation was in one of four free standing cottages on acreage, very private as each was hidden from the others by greenery. It was overlooking a small stream in which previous guests had reported having seen a platypus or two. We had a large covered deck equipped with a BBQ, table and chairs. A great place to sit and relax.
There were two large bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen dining and lounge rooms. The furniture was well chosen, comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen and bathroom were squeaky clean and well equipped. As a quiet get away it is highly recommended.
an ideal location for a snug family retreat. we enjoyed our stay, particularly the deck outdoors so we could watch and listen to the birds. The kids loved bashing around on their bikes as well
The cottage was gorgeous. Immaculately clean and had everything for quiet privatee getaway. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Love it. Will definitely come again.
A beautiful little cabin, its very well stocked it has all the equipment you need if you want to cook they even leave some olive oil and salt and pepper shakers for you. the owners are very trusting they leave little notes everywhere asking to leave money on the counter for anything extra you use.
