With an enormous central space, high ceilings and ornate candelabras, the gorgeous centerpiece is an enormous wood fire and stone chimney.
Beautifully appointed with whitewash and timber, this light airy space reminds you more a French Chateaux than a cottage. With every little detail is exquisitely attended, down to the light switches, doorknobs and antique taps, many an hour could be lost simply admiring. Double doors subtly leading off the main space will lead you into one of two luxuriously plush bedrooms, or an enormous bathroom centrally featured with a deep stand-alone bath, all meticulously themed to give a sense of historic luxury.
Basic kitchenette with limited cooking facilities is provided atop a perfectly rough French timber top, including a coffee machine, toaster, kettle, microwave and bar fridge. A large wall mounted tv perches cautiously in the opposite corner, like a modern outsider intimidated by the grandeur of its historic setting.
Bedding Configuration:
Bedroom 1 : Queen Bed Bedroom 2 - 2 x Single Beds
All bedding, linen and bath towels are provided. BYO river/pool towels.
This tiny French castle is the place of dreams, located among the paradise that is the Alpine Valleys. Read for hours in the sun on the window lounges, soak in the enormous bath, or bask in the afternoon sun on any number of outdoor lounges; or go out and explore the marvels of the region, and experience again the wonder of coming home to this romantic sanctuary.

The property was very comfortable. We went in the middle of winter, but the fireplace and A/C meant we were always nice and warm. Lots of natural light from all the windows. Beautiful place to stay.

Wow! Collins Cottage is absolutely out of this world - it is the cleanest property we have ever stayed in, across all our years of travels! The beds were comfortable, the property is beautifully furnished, and the attention to detail is second to none. The quality of all the furnishings is also noticeable; right down to the cutlery, everything in this property is of a high quality and carefully selected. We absolutely LOVED our stay and would come back any day! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at such a gorgeous property :)

The cottage was amazing and the facilities were fantastic, especiallythe open fire. Only criticism, we ran out of firewood and kindling on our first night of a two night stay and had to purchase our own firewoodand kindling. The reason given is that some guests steal the wood. So they only provide firewood for one night, though we paid for two nights accommodation. Bring your own firewood.
