3 Bedroom Cottage in Barrington

The Old Schoolmaster’s Cottage on the Barrington River is nestled cosily in the picturesque Barrington River Valley. Built in the late 1800's our heritage Cottage is one of the oldest original residences in the Barrington Valley. The history of the Cottage has been enhanced by recent renovations which highlight its old-world charm.
The Cottage enjoys a breathtaking position right on the banks of the Barrington River with an outlook over productive working river flats which change colour with the seasons. Sit on the verandah, listen to sounds of the river and overlook the magnificent Bucketts Mountain Range, all of which add to the unique atmosphere of the Cottage.

Summary: Clean, comfortable and cosy house in a lovely rural location but also close to Gloucester. Lots of things supplied - linen, a well stocked pantry (basics but handy), great television set up and fire was ready to go! The verandah with excellent outdoor furniture was our favourite place to sit and take in the landscape and local fauna (lots of birds). We loved the big tree in front of the house (great for climbing). The gorgeous Barrington River was easy to access from the property and the kids enjoyed skimming stones and playing on the shore (the river was raging!). Highly recommended.
