Property info

Tucked away in a serene countryside setting, this charming cottage hotel provides the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life where warm hospitality and a sense of tranquility enveloped the entire property. Each room has been beautifully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully curated to create a welcoming atmosphere & comfortable stay. Surrounded by lush gardens and towering trees you will surely find a spot to linger on either your morning coffee while watching the resident family of ducks quacking and waddling around, or a glass of wine as the light fade away and the evening serenade with the birds’ songs grow louder into a natural ritual known as the dusk chorus. Cool down in one of our 2 swimming pools during summer days or book a pool treatment or relaxing massage at Phomola Spa located on the property. Airconditioning, 20 channels TV, some units Netflix, Double Rooms, Family or Self-catering units, we have a wide variety of room options available.
