Peaceful Lakeside Retreat

Welcome to your cozy corner of the Bedfordshire/Buckinghamshire countryside! Here, you'll find the best of both worlds: the tranquility of a rural retreat with the convenience of being just minutes from major towns and transport links. With Highland Cows as our neighbours, foxes, pheasants (and the occasional duck!) as our regular guests and ducks, geese and swans gracing our great lakeside view. The space We live in the 130 year old cottage - which used to be the workers cottages for the Manor House in our tiny village with our dog Evie (if you like dogs I’m sure she would love to be front and centre of welcoming you to our home!). Our guest room is in our timber framed garage next door - so you will be tucked away in your own little bubble, but we will be right on hand for anything you need. To our side is the old fishing lake that used serve the Manor House - and is now owned by one of the villagers & currently home to two swans and a lot of ducks. To the back of us is a field of Highland Cows - if they are feeling social they may come and say “hello” at the back fence while you’re here - Ernie and his son Little Ernie both love to come and see what’s going on! You will have ample space to park on our gated driveway, and have your own private entrance into the studio. The kitchen will be stocked with tea and coffee so you can pop the kettle on when you arrive! The bathroom is stocked with eco friendly shampoo, conditioner & body wash. All ready to put your feet up and unwind in this countryside retreat. Guest access Access to the property is through the electric gates onto our driveway, where there is lots of room for parking & the stairs to the guest room lead straight up from the driveway. In the area we are lucky enough to have a great pub just two minutes drive away - if you’re here on a Sunday then their roast is a must (with constant top ups of gravy, Yorkshire Puddings & roast potatoes!). Woburn with its famous High Street, Safari Park, Deer Park & Centre Parcs. If you feel more like staying home then there is a good selection of food delivery options available too. Milton Keynes Central is 17 minutes drive away with trains taking just over half an hour to central London and great connections to the North & Midlands. Bedford and Flitwick stations are both within 20 minutes too. We are just a couple of minutes away from Junction 13 on the M1, ideally you’ll be driving if staying with us (or have a healthy taxi budget!). Other things to note We live in the main cottage with our friendly dog, Evie, who would love to be part of your welcome committee if you're a dog person! We have loved all our adventures staying in Airbnbs and have kept all the bits we love in mind when creating our space. The bathroom is stocked with eco-friendly shampoo, conditioner & body wash. For your security and peace of mind, there are exterior security cameras on the property. We would love to host you soon. If you have any questions in the meantime, please just get in touch!
