We loved Hestasport Cottages! The hot tub was very relaxing. The property was wonderful and it was so nice having our own private cottage after staying in many cramped guesthouses and hotels.

Great Cottage for Our Family

We really enjoyed the cottage. The natural bath was great and we had lots of space. It was comfortable, and the kitchen was very well-stocked.

The cottages were in a scenic area and well appointed. The cottage in which we stayed had a steep staircase to get up to the bedrooms, so I would not recommend our particular cottage if anyone has mobility issues. (I am not sure if all of the cabins are the same.) The staff at check in were helpful and friendly. Our family enjoyed a short horseback trail ride to a waterfall. We had a lovely stay!
