Property Description

Each pretty timber cottage is hidden in its own lush garden setting which can be glimpsed through leadlight windows or viewed through soaring six metre glass walls. Some feature dramatic cathedral ceilings with hidden lofts. Enjoy your own spa or hot tub in a plant filled conservatory with private forest views or watch the flickering fire.

The cottages have been furnished with a selection of antiques, artworks and exotic collectables to create rich stylish interiors. Each cottage has a unique appeal, while the mood throughout is one of casual, idyllic luxury.

The cottages are surrounded by hundred year old oaks, southern beeches and towering mountain ash. Arcadia is adjacent to the National Rhododendron Gardens, in a quiet location away from the main Tourist Road. Its own rambling gardens feature ornamental ponds and mature camellias and rhododendrons. The distant views offer watercolour mountain ranges.
