Enjoy the best of both worlds with two outdoor seating areas and a tranquil garden. The front of the cottage is car-free, offering a peaceful place to sip your morning coffee immersed in nature.

Other things to note
There is usually a parking space right by the cottage, and if not there is parking in the village close to the cottage and you can load/unload the car outside. There is additional parking at the top of the village and it is totally safe everywhere.
Please note: This is a 300 year old cottage so some of the ceiling beams are quite low and the stairs are steeper and narrower than a modern house. It is not suitable for people with mobility difficulties or for very tall people.
I hope your doggie has a lovely time too! Just a few doggy house rules to keep everyone happy:
- No dogs upstairs or on the furniture
- Please keep dogs on leads at all times on the Row (outside the cottage) and when you take them down to the garden. The garden is offset from the cottage down a little path. It isn’t 100% secure and backs onto a field with livestock. However, the village is perfect for pootling around with your dog on traffic free alleyways and there are easy dog walks straight from the door, including the village orchard where there is no livestock.
- There’s a hose outside for muddy paws after your adventures
