Our self-catering cottages are cosy with good bedding, fireplaces and reliable off-grid power to keep evenings comfortable, even during load-shedding. The little Chapel is perfect for intimate celebrations, and the forest invites slow walks, birding and hands-on learning for kids. Come to Dargle, bring the dog, and let the forest do the rest. Tell us: what would you most want to do on your first day here? 🔥🌿🕊️
