Gun Cottage is a lovely place to relax into, and if you have a small child or two it won't cost you more than most of our cottages for a couple only. Plus the children can help me collect the bantam eggs in the morning.
We now have a very large private car park and a dog exercise area covering over an acre so the cottages can enjoy even more peace and quiet and dog owners don’t have to walk bleary eyed down the country lanes first thing in the morning.
Gun Cottage is one of the six cottages that make up the Old Grove Farm which dates back to the 1720s.
Downstairs:
- Lovely sunny room with three windows on two sides and a beautiful open log fire with an antique pine ‘surround’ reaching to the ceiling, winding staircase behind a cupboard door leads up to two bedrooms and a bathroom.
- Handmade kitchen from reclaimed oak and tile, with original cupboards, Belfast sink, gas hobs and a modern electric oven / grill and air extractor.
- Original pine farmhouse kitchen table with charming old lace tablecloth.
- Cosy sofa, easy chair and antique Kelim rug in front of fireplace.
- TV & DVD player, CD / radio / cassette sound system, selection of CDs and tapes as well as books and games all hidden in a cupboard.
- Handmade terracotta tiled floor.
Upstairs:
- Main bedroom with pretty iron double bed, which we rescued from under the vegetable patch and which turned out to be nearly as old as the cottage. Restored to its former glory it looks right at home in the main bedroom. This bedroom is light and airy and is easily large enough to include a child’s cot.
- Small second bedroom with full single sized bunk beds.
- Newly made bathroom with a spacious shower.
- Ancient broad-cut Elm wood floor.
General Features:
- The cottage is completely self contained and centrally heated; it has its own front garden and overlooks the sunny orchard, ideal for lounging around and BBQ’ing
- The interiors are decorated in their original fashion, with white walls and black wooden floors; this gives a very 'pure' and rural feeling to the cottage, reminiscent of the American Shaker style.
- We provide quality mattresses, duvets, linen and towels. Highchair, baby-cot, TV and TV Video player. Music tapes, CD's and some children's videotapes are available on request.
- Well-behaved pets are always welcome.
- One big basket of firewood and logs free and firelighters.
- BBQ’s and picnic tables
- Bikes are free for guest’s use.
