Testimonials
«We had an amazing stay at the forest hotel in Mount Congreve. The cabin was furnished beautifully, and to an excellent standard. Everything you need to have a wonderful stay is there waiting for you. Added bonus was a lovely morning walk around the gardens. Couldn’t recommend it more for a luxury escape to the forest. Fiona was fantastic to deal with and gave great instructions. We’ll be back!» - Bramble Cabin 5* Ruth’s review
«We couldn’t have been met with a kinder reception both from the hosts, and then from the staff at the stables cafe. Everything was cosy and beautiful, the grounds were stunning. It’s lovely inside the cabins and the welcome basket was appreciated. 100% coming back in the future» - Hawthorn Cabin 5* Emma’s review
«We had a really magical stay for a special occasion. The cabins are immaculate and luxurious- so cosy and peaceful. The decor feels very welcoming from the gorgeous throws, the soft bath robes and the vintage style radio. The homemade bread, butter, milk and eggs are such a lovely touch. We took full advantage of the hot tub and it was magical under the trees and a crescent moon. Highly recommend to family, friend groups or couples.» - Beech Cabin – 5* Shona’s review
«Had the pleasure of staying at Mount Congreve estate. Everything was perfect from the location, tothe little extra touches of bread, eggs, milk, and butter in the cabin to the free bicycle hire. Its proximity to the greenway is a huge plus and in the 2 nights that we stayed there we cycled along it on 2 occasions. We stayed in January and it was minus temperatures outside but the cosy cabin was so warm with its underfloor heating. The staff were super friendly, full of local recommendations and helpful when we got lost trying to find the entrance to the greenway. It was fantastic mini break and definitely go back and stay there again in spring/summer.» - Beech Cabin 5* Brid’s review
