Bora's Lodge Cottages
Cosy, intimate, and ideally suited to couples
These two traditional cottages stand within the extensive gardens of a large private house near the rural village of Ciftlik.
The cottages, known as Red Rose Cottage and White Rose Cottage are small and prettily decorated. Each cottage has its own furnished terrace overlooking the gardens and both cottages share the lovely large swimming pool. Gokhan, the owner, occupies the main house most weekends when he arrives from his work in Istanbul and has many interesting stories to tell about the local area as well as the city. He also has a couple of large friendly dogs, so we would suggest that guests booking these cottages should be dog lovers.
The village centre with its small local restaurant and minimarket is a five-minute walk away.
Accommodation
Small lounge with kitchenette, shower room with wc, double bedroom. Air-conditioning.
Facilities
Large shared swimming pool, 2 ring hob, fridge, hairdryer, safes and portable barbecue. Breakfast, lunch and dinner available on request and payable locally.
Bora's Lodge Cottages
By Heidi - Marketing Assistant
Wow, what a place! Win the lottery and buy a little cottage on secure private grounds in Turkey's countryside, taking in local village life where the sun shines every day. Yes that's me dreaming, although that actually is Bora's Lodge, especially the little red cottage here - It's a dream place which you would buy if you won the lottery.
There are two cottages in the grounds, along with the owner's residence, which is a bit like a small mansion!! The owner's have a pool beside their residence, which you will have the use of too, so you will become friends. That said, back at the cottage it's very private.
The white cottage has quite a mixed style to it, with a kitchen and bathroom that are very modern and new, whereas the furniture in the lounge was quite authentic and traditional in comparison, but still overall it had a fresh feel with the white walls.
The red cottage is a refurbished old cottage which is not as light inside as the white cottage, mainly because the colours are so rich, but the cottage oozes character, which is why I loved it. It felt like being part of a fairytale with it's setting in amongst the trees and bushes.
It's a perfect escape away for a typical Turkish experience, but is a good drive inland to in a country village so not for beach lovers or people wanting a lively party.
