Located in the rural centre of Rüeggisberg and 20 km from Bern and Thun, Bed and Breakfast Cottage Holiday was once the town’s general store, and now sells garden decoration on its ground floor. Guests can book a flight above the Alps with the Cottage’s staff. Rooms at Cottage Holiday are spacious and have panoramic views of the Bernese Alps and the property’s manicured gardens. Units come with a private bathroom, and feature white-washed floors and wall-panelling. Exposed wooded beams adorn the high pitched ceilings in several units. Breakfast is served each morning, and coffee and cake can be enjoyed in the garden during summer against a surcharge. WiFi and private parking are available on site free of charge. The local bus stops 150 metres away, and several restaurants are within 400 metres. Bern can be reached by car in 20 minutes, and a large lake can be visited in Thun, 24 km away. A textile museum can be visited 6 km away, and the small ski area Gurnigel is a 20-minute drive away and is a popular destination for cross-country skiing.
