Had a beautiful peaceful couple of days which was just what we needed. Was so lovely to be able to bring our dog with us too. Perfect cottage and gardens.
We had a beautiful stay with our doggie.
The cottage was very comfortable with gorgeous gardens, with a doggie friendly pub for dinner just down the road. Wonderful host also, thank you.
We loved our little getaway at the cosy RydalCottage. Sitting by the open fire place, listening to laughing kookaburras or drinking tea and looking at the beautiful gardens was very relaxing. A warm electric blanket was a plus. Thank you for having us!
The photos dont do this gorgeous cottage justice!What a lovely little weekend getaway (especially in winter to use the fireplace)My mum didnt want to leave Will definitely be back :)

A lovely spot for a couple of days for us and our dog - walked to the pub for dinner which was v good. Property well equipped and a lovely garden for our dog
Perfect winter get away! Lovely cottage and surrounds. Couldn't have asked for more. Carol was wonderful! We arrived at night and were very grateful to find the cottage was warm and the fireplace was set up ready to go. Location was great, only 2 hours drive and everyone in the town was so welcoming. We had a great time away with our puppy! Thank you so much for having us. We will definitely be back!
Rydal cottage was a delight. Clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed an open fire of an evening with plenty of firewood provided. The grounds were picturesque and fenced to be pet friendly. The communication from the host was appropriate and informative. We highly recommend the cottage and host, and look forward to future visits.
Great kitchen and bathroom facilities, cozy and warm with great fireplace, lovely big garden. Fantastic place for a couple to get away for a quiet stay, and bonus our dog could come along too.
We had a wonderful stay at Rydal cottage. Such a lovely little cottage surrounded by beautiful gardens. We had a perfect little weekend away of rest and relaxation in this super tranquil setting.
We had an amazing experience at Rydal Cottage. The cottage was perfect, the grounds superb and the features amazing, Carol has thought of everything. Our dog was immediately at home in the extensive garden and preferred to be out exploring than inside - that was of course until we lit the fire and then he was on his rug hugging the heat!Will definately be back, thanks Carol!
We love Rydal Cottage. Beautiful little cottage set amongst fabulous gardens with everything you need for cosy weekend or extended stay. Clean, tidy with world of charm. Our fur babies love running around the garden. Carol met us on arrival which was lovely, communication and check in were easy. I highly recommend staying here. Quaint little town close to Lithgow, Japanese Bathhouse and the Zig Zag railway.
