Exceptional Service

Our award-winning Guest Services team will not only help you find your dream holiday but will support you through every step of your stay.

At the heart of the cottage is the large, open-plan drawing-room/dining-room/kitchen. The focal point is the antique pine mantelpiece and open fireplace with a club fender, plus there’s comfy sofa and armchair seating where you can get cosy. A needlepoint rug, a Victorian bookcase and a brass candelabra all add individual flair and homeliness to the space.

Next to the sitting area is a dining table positioned beside French doors that lead to the cottage’s secluded terrace.

Behind the dining table is the kitchen space which has half granite, half pine worktops, a Belfast sink and a kitchen island. There’s everything you could want to make all your meals, including a hob and oven, a microwave and a fridge/freezer, plus there’s a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The master bedroom is on the ground floor and features a king-size, four-poster bed and antique furniture including a 19th-century mahogany chest of drawers and a rosewood desk. Plus, there’s an en-suite with a bath and a shower over, a WC and an old marble-topped French washstand.

A staircase leads up to the second bedroom that has two single four-poster beds and an en-suite wet room with a walk-in shower, WC and washstand.

Outside, the terrace is edged on both sides by trellis covered with climbing plants which offer plenty of privacy. It borders the lawns and walled gardens of the estate. Furnished with a table, chairs, umbrella and a barbecue, it’s a delightful spot for al fresco dining.
You’ll also have access to the estate’s stunning gardens which feature a mix of formal and informal elements, the perfect place for a quiet stroll. There’s also access to shared facilities including an indoor swimming pool, spa and gym, as well as several children’s play areas and the teens’ games room.

You will have access to a host of on-site leisure facilities that are shared by guests of all cottages.

Glorious gardens

Visit England has awarded the estate gardens top marks and it’s not hard to see why. A real labour of love, with a mix of formal and informal elements, highlights of the gardens include topiary, box hedges, lawns, an old walled garden, gazebos, orchards, statues, a wisteria tunnel, vast borders, an arched column of yews and a stream… the list goes on. This is English country garden style at its very best.

Swimming pool, spa and gym

The indoor, heated swimming pool is great for a refreshing dip and is edged with poolside loungers so you can relax afterwards. Doors open onto an Italian-style garden and a sun terrace with more loungers, which is a blissful spot to enjoy a drink or lunch on a summer’s day. Children under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult, while floats and swim nappies are available for little ones. Why not make it a full day of indulgence and book a facial or a massage with an expert therapist? The spa treatment rooms here are calming spaces filled with soothing scents and relaxing music.

However, if you’re keen to keep up with your fitness routine, head to the gym which is equipped with a running machine, power plate, exercise balls, rowing machine, cross trainer, free weights and an exercise bike.

Children’s facilities

Children will love it here. There are three playgrounds, a two-storey Wendy house, bikes and a play cabin with dressing up clothes, art materials, toys and even child-sized croquet sets. Meanwhile, teenagers will like the games room which features a pool table, table tennis and table football, as well as a 75-inch TV with a PS4 and an Xbox 360. It’s the perfect place for a friendly competition with siblings, parents or new friends.

A member of staff from the cottage estate will greet you on arrival and show you to your cottage. The estate grounds and gardens, the swimming pool, spa area, gym and play areas are shared facilities available to guests of all the cottages at the site.

Welcome hampers provided to guests include essentials and treats mostly sourced from neighbouring farms and local suppliers. Meanwhile, the all-natural toiletries supplied for you to use during your stay are from 100 Acres that donates a percentage of its profits to a rewilding Britain scheme. In addition, the estate gardens are a haven for wildlife. Shrubs and flowers have been planted to attract bees and butterflies, while flowers from the cutting garden are used in pretty arrangements in the cottages to welcome guests.
