Original oak beams and flagstone floors lead to a magnificent fireplace that still bears the marks of centuries past. On cooler evenings, you can hunker down in front of the crackling wood burning stove, warming your toes with a mug of hot chocolate and your favourite holiday read.

Two sumptuous bedrooms provide a peaceful sanctuary at the end of the day. For an added touch of indulgence, a freestanding roll-top bath invites you to unwind in style, while fluffy white robes ensure you stay cosy after a long, relaxing soak.

In spring, the beautiful grounds burst into life, and the mature gardens offer a tranquil setting for leisurely lunches or barbecue suppers enjoyed in the glow of the late evening sun.

The cottage has formed part of the Dillington Estate since at least 1725, with the Grade II listed farmhouse and courtyard belonging to the impressive 3,000-acre estate.

From your doorstep, you can meander along pretty country lanes and explore woodland walks. And as every good country ramble should end with a hearty meal, you’ll be pleased to find an excellent selection of welcoming pubs just a short walk or cycle away.
