Bird Cottage And Frog Lodge
Location: South Africa » Western Cape » Winelands » FranschoekBird Cottage And Frog LodgeBird Cottage And Frog Lodge Hotel / Lodge accommodation in Franschhoek Western CapeDescriptionThe cottage sits pretty and private in its own tended garden, away from the main house where Graham and Paddy and their hounds live. Bird Cottage is fully equipped for four adults and the relaxed bric-and-brac decor has ‘welcome’ written all over it. Closer to the main house and attached to Paddy’s outdoor studio is a second cottage called Frog Lodge, that’s also available from time to time. It is a little more spacious than Bird Cottage but the feel and furnishings are similar. In the beautiful Franschhoek Valley on a wine grape farm, on the southern slopes of the mountains. Both cottages have two bedrooms, TV, fireplaces, linen provided and are self-catering. Swimming and walking trails available. The village is a gourmet's delight with numerous antique shops.

There are two bedrooms, both comfortably cosy, and a Christopher Robin kiddies’ loft above the lounge that's sadly no longer home to the extended family of cute teddies we met on our first visit several years ago – like humans, bears grow up and move on. The bathroom has a Victorian tub and the lounge a fireplace and small telly. During our stay we made a concerted effort to be energetic but never got round to tackling Montagne's new walking trail.
