OUR COTTAGES

Ticklepenny Cottage

Ticklepenny cottage offers accommodation for 2/3 people. This is our smallest holiday let, and is single storey so is suitable for guests with limited mobility.

Brick house with a small front patio, stairs, and potted plants, set against a blue sky with clouds.

Kingfisher Cottage

Kingfisher has been sympathetically converted from a traditional redbricked and pantiled farm building, with original beams giving the cottage charm and character.

Front view of a small red brick house with a tiled roof, double wooden door, and two windows, surrounded by a gravel and brick-paved yard with plants in planters.

Barn Owl Cottage

Barn Owl is our largest cottage offering 4 star self-catering accommodation. This holiday home can comfortably accommodate a family, but a couple would also find it a cosy retreat.

A brick house with a tiled gable roof, small windows, and a wooden door, situated in a spacious yard with gravel and paved areas, a wooden bench, some plants, and a green rainwater tank under a partly cloudy sky.
