Tumbledown Cottage, with courtyard garden

Welcome to Tumbledown Cottage Climb our worn stone steps and breathe deep the scent of climbing roses… then prepare to discover something truly unforgettable. The space STEP DOWN INTO OUR HIDDEN WORLD Make your way inside, then descend into our sunken snug — a welcoming retreat beneath ancient beams, with sage-green walls, plush emerald velvet sofa, leather armchair, and atmospheric art. From here, walk through a soft stone corridor and step into something quite extraordinary: our speakeasy-style cellar. Warm amber walls glow beside exposed stone, where you’ll find a tufted leather Chesterfield, vintage gramophone ready to play, chess table laid out for friendly rivalry, and a vintage bar cart fit for prohibition evenings. A secret world unlike any other — pure magic beneath the cottage! YOUR RESTFUL CHAMBERS Two peaceful bedrooms await above: one with a cosy small double bed, and another with twin beds — both dressed in soft linens and calm colours, promising sweet rest after your wanderings. YOUR PRIVATE COURTYARD GARDEN Step outside to your own secluded courtyard — a quiet sunlit spot where you may sit, sip morning coffee, and listen to the gentle chime of church bells drifting over the village rooftops. A peaceful haven to enjoy fresh air, birdsong, and soft flowers, all to yourselves. Built in the 1800s, this erstwhile dairy and coach house nestles right in the heart of Crick village, full of beams, character, and the odd friendly creak or two. We blend old charm with modern ease — though mark this well: there be NO oven, hob, nor range here. Fear not! We provide air-fryer, slow cooker, microwave, kettle, and toaster; the village Co-op stands close by for provisions. Stroll the canal to Crick Marina, wander country lanes, or watch narrowboats drift lazily by. Free roadside parking and Wi-Fi provided. Taverns, deli, post office, and fine Indian restaurant — all within easy walking distance. A truly unique base for canal lovers, history seekers, and anyone who craves comfort… with a wonderful touch of magic. ⚜️ Guest access The whole cottage is thine to enjoy — save only the uppermost floor, which remaineth private.
