Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
GardenFarm's Walden Cottage offers a serene escape from city life, surrounded by friendly farm animals and stunning natural beauty. Guests frequently mention the warm hospitality of host Bob, who makes everyone feel at home with thoughtful touches like homemade bread and fresh eggs. The setting is ideal for families, with plenty of activities for kids such as feeding animals and exploring the countryside. A few visitors noted its remote location, which might require planning for excursions, but those seeking relaxation and a rural retreat will find it a perfect match.

We absolutely loved staying at the GardenFarm cottage. Bob is such an incredible host and made us feel right at home. We got to swim in a waterfall, roast marshmallows on the fire and our little two year old got to feed the chickens which was her absolute highlight. We were welcomed by a beautiful home made bread, some wonderful fresh chicken eggs and some delicious home grown spinach. Beautiful time to rest and reset in the country.

This was our third trip back to Gardenfarm and Walden cottage. Each time it seems to become more beautiful and relaxing. It was so good to see Bob - thank you again for your kindness and generosity! Our girls love to visit and this time was so special meeting Penny! I highly recommend a stay at Walden cottage - and I have no doubt we’ll be back again!

Tent camped at Epic with friends, Jan 2023.
Recommends
We loved the natural beauty of the surrounding green hills and lush vegetation. The free ranging sheep, cows, chickens, geese and bonnie the sheep dog were welcome guests amongst our tents. The kids loved the natural pond and all the frogs and even had a swim or two on hot days. The nearby creek was also great fun for the kids.
