Our cottages can be booked either individually, or as a suite of up to four cottages for group bookings.

Front door leads directly onto a quiet access only street and an internal door leads to a shared hall and laundry area which then gives access to a covered dining terrace, overlooking our extensive gardens and woodland. During your stay, you will also have access to the two and a half acres of garden which includes a beautiful clear stream, running through an ancient lavoir with small woodland area. We have a lovely above ground pool, 5m diameter, 1.2m deep, perfect to cool down in on a hot summers day.

Described, in one of our reviews as, 'a beautiful place, with a fine balance between modern comfort and ancient charm'.

You will occasionally see us checking the pool, maintaining the grounds and entering and leaving the site via a shared driveway.
