    The cottage is beautifully designed and has floor to ceiling bi fold doors to the front and rear. The setting is wonderful within your own forest with a small stream to the side and small waterfalls in the garden at the rear. There is a bbq, hot tub and seating areas at the rear set in a lovely garden - lit up at night. The hosts were lovely and left lots of goodies for your holiday. This is certainly a lovely holiday destination. Elaine and Roo must be very proud of what they have achieved. We thoroughly recommend Hielan Roo to those looking for a special retreat.
