STAY WITH US
Songbird Cottage is within the grounds of Songbird Retreat and easy walking distance to the wedding venue. A luxurious bridal suite offering newlyweds a chance to slip away at the end of the night and sink into a sumptuous super-king sized bed, without having to leave the premises.
After the last guests disappear and the music fades, relax into a bubble bath for two with only the twinkling stars and moonlit skies above.
