Mini break with our furkids

A mini break for us and able to bring our dogs along was great. We enjoyed the cozy home and the wonderfully peaceful garden. Amazing butterflies and bird life, late summer flowers and beautiful trees and shrubs. Perfect!

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.

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

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.
