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.

Tranquil and well equipped
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!

all-round wonderful experience
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.
