Hillborne Cottage is a tranquil and cosy place surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. The view is amazing with beautiful green fields and horses grazing. The cottage was exceptionally clean, very well-equipped and prepared with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We really felt spoiled with all the thoughtful extras Melissa provided, including fresh eggs, oranges, lemons, milk and juice. It was such a lovely welcome and made our stay even more special :)

5 Star hosting, homely and gorgeous cottage. Vast outdoor space and views of the land, horses, night sky, outdoor fire pit where we cooked damper, and fresh, clean air… are the highlight of our trip. So much more we could mention here, thank you. We’ll be back for another break from the city real soon. Francesca and Co.

Not straight forward for an occasional user. Premium pricing and wouldn’t have booked longer than 2 nights, choosing cheaper options for the rest of our trip. A good experience however and a real insight into an area that offers a great base to either relax or explore.

This was the third time we stayed at Hillborne Cottage and it was as lovely as ever. It really feels like a home away from home. I always come back feeling rejuvenated and especially loved sitting on the deck watching the horses and listening to the birdsong.

Gorgeous little get away. Has everything you can think you'll need plus more. The view is just stunning and we especially loved the horses! Melissa was very accommodating, allowing us to bring 2 larger dogs as per requested. Even though the power went out during our stay (storms fault!), Melissa had a generator as back up and she didn't skip a beat! We love this little place and will definitely come back!
