  Excellent and Friendly

  This resort is worthy of all the awards it has won nationally and internationally! We were surprised at the great value for money and this place will really make you look differently at self-catering forever more - the cottages are beautiful and offers everything and more. We went on our honeymoon and have already returned for an anniversary and hope to return with our kids one day.

  Answer from Forest Edge - Nature Lovers' Retreat on 20-05-2019:

  Thanks for the kind words Willie - we hope to welcome you guys back to our magical forest retreat in the near future.
