Fay's is one with abundant surprises and a yarn or two with Hugh will promise a smile.

And without a doubt the scones will delight from beautiful Janniene and her wonderful smile.

Yes and let's not forget the freshly baked bread with a view to cast over while lying in bed.

So with all that said, I'm sure one would agree that this cottage on the hill is where we all want to be.
Thank you xx

___Anne & Corky

Thank you Janniene & Hugh for making us feel so welcome & making our little breakaway such a relaxing & momentous weekend. This place is definitely Gods country. xxx

____Annette & Jim

It's been said that most days can be quite unremarkable. That 'most days' can begin and end without lasting memories made inbetween.

Time spent at Fay's Cottage was NOT most days!!

The genuine hospitality, peace and comforts found here, ... uncomplicated joys rarely encountered, truly nourish the soul. Though you may be mile from home, you find yourself exactly where you need to be.

Greatest thanks to our hosts, Janniene, Hugh and Johnno.  We'll be back! xx

____Julie & Michael

Such a relaxing & cosy weekend. "Feels like home!"

Thank you Janniene & Hugh, every details covered. Love those scones 😉

Dear Janniene & Hugh - Thoroughly enjoyed our few days in Fays Cottage - a great memorial to her! Great to see the cottage after hearing so much about it. - It really has that old world charm! You are both amazing hosts & we hope to return one day & experience more that Dorrigo has to offer.

____Mike & Margie

Thank you so much for your hospitality from our fresh baked scones, beautiful fire awaiting us when the weather suddenly turned so cold.

Next morning our beautiful bread arrived for us to enjoy our breakfast.

We love the house and all the little touches was beautiful, like the lovely candles burning when we arrived.

Hugh, thank you for the tour of the property, we really enjoyed that, maybe even getting a calf named after me. Thank you for everything we will be back. Love to you both

____Julie & Frank

Thank you both for a very special weekend. Everything about Fay's Cottage is spectacular, the view from the verandah, the homemade goodies and the farm tour with Hugh. Such beautiful hosts who make you feel so welcome. Truly a magical place. Thanks again love..

____Rob & Jenni

Janniene & Hugh. The most wonderful and accommodating hosts who could not do enough for us. The fresh bread in the morning to the scones, jam & cream upon return from the gorgeous Dorrigo rainforests. Your service was beyond expectation.

And how could I forget Evan. He greeted us and showed us around and everything we needed to know.

Finally Johnny, the cattle dog we adopted for a couple of days. We will miss you.

Thank you so much all for the wonderful stay.
