SMALL MOMENTS YOU’LL REMEMBER
Romeo & Juliet may pop by to say hello.
Warm water. Fresh air. Nowhere to hurry to.

Because stories sound better beside a crackling fire.
Simple, comfortable cottages tucked between forest and farmland.
Each one gives you space to slow down, settle in and make yourself at home.

OUR STORY
It began with a
blank piece of paper.
Before the cottages, the gardens and the quiet little paths, Forest Edge was simply an idea.
An idea slowly brought to life.
What began simply has grown into a place where people come to slow down, reconnect and stay awhile.
