Testimonials

Lovely welcome hamper

Came in January with my partner for a nights stay in Bonnie Brae Lodge. Received check in details in plenty time. Arrived and everything was set up lovely, room and hot tub was warm for us arriving. Lodge came fully furnished very comfortable and homely. Comes with a fully fitted kitchen with coffee makers. Lovely welcome hamper along with bottle of Prosecco chilling in fridge. Also comes with an Amazon Alexa which was fab. Two TV’s with great signal also. Overall this stay was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Coorie retreats is an excellent establishment with beautiful lodges and views. Only thing we would change is earlier check in time and later check out time to enjoy for longer!
