The French Cottage

The best place to go if you want to be out of everything noisy. I could easily be with my family while still having time to self. You don’t even need to go anywhere really, especially if you come prepared.

You need to bring your own iron. While I would have preferred to have my outfit ironed, it wasn’t much of a train smash.

Set against the mountain, The French Cottage had a perfect location. It was quiet and secluded- the only noise coming from the rich bird life. One of the Clarens Conservancy Trails started and ended right outside the property. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds comfortable. The Cottage had a lovely atmosphere!

The upstairs was linked to downstairs by an outside stairway…but we soon got used to this

just loved the ambience and setting 😍 beautiful historical building set against the backdrop of the sandstone cliffs and stunning walkways. A magical stay.

The second and third bedroom are set together outside of the main lounge, kitchen and bedroom. These bedrooms should have a mini fridge and kettle.

The French Cottage is the most beautiful cottage. The location is absolutely amazing and the surroundings very nice. Garden is neat and very quiet. A must to visit.

Very comfortable beds and beautiful linen. Very clean and everything we needed. Superb surroundings. We walked every day to the mountain and into town. Very good experience. Julia, our host, was always friendly and offered her assistance and help if needed. We could braai every evening. Rooms are big and bathrooms have a bath and a shower. We can recommend the French Cottage for excellent accommodation.

The road to the cottage is very bumpy. Luckily, we went with our Ford Ranger. Safe parking but not covered.

Beautiful cottage and close to nature.

This was a beautiful stay. It was tranquil and the views are stunning!
