Inside Spring Cottage

Room by room

Where everything is

The vestibule

You come in through a small entrance porch. Hang the wet coats here and leave the muddy boots behind. (The walks start at the door.)

Sitting and dining room

One open-plan room built around a multi-fuel stove. There's a large corner sofa, a new 50-inch smart TV, a Marshall Bluetooth speaker for your music, and a table and chairs if you'd rather eat by the fire than in the kitchen.

Kitchen

Modern and properly equipped, looking out over the back garden. There's a breakfast bar, a dishwasher and a washing machine, plus a Ninja 15-in-1 air fryer, a juicer and a pod coffee machine for slow mornings. Or let someone else cook: see where to eat.

Bedroom one: the double

At the back of the house, overlooking the south-facing garden, with a double bed and bedroom furniture.

Bedroom two: the twin

At the front, with two single beds, exposed stonework and original art on the walls. Good for children or friends.

Babies: travel cot and highchair

The beds sleep four: the double and the two singles. A baby under 2 is welcome as a fifth guest in a travel cot, which we provide free (or bring your own). There's a highchair for mealtimes too. That's the only way to make five: we can't take a fifth guest aged 2 or over, or more than one baby.

Bathroom

A bath with a rain shower over it, a basin and WC, all set against stonework we think is around 300 years old.

Box room

A small room for suitcases, with spare linen and cleaning things. It isn't a bedroom, so nobody can sleep in it.

Gardens

A small garden at the front. At the back, a private, secluded garden that faces south and is a sun trap in summer. Take your coffee or a glass of wine out and listen to the birds. The back garden is enclosed by a planted boundary (planting and hedging rather than walls), so it's a safe spot for dogs to potter. More in our dog-friendly guide.
