Rooms The Blue Room The Blue Room has a glorious painted iron double bed, with a Hästens base and mattress and a view of the Skirrid mountain. An oak wardrobe and chest of drawers will house your clothes. The wide, oak floorboards, with a scattering of little rag rugs, complete this picture of rustic comfort while in the en suite bathroom with its overhead shower, bath, lavatory, hand basin and heated towel rail, tactile chrome fittings provide a modern counterpoint to the simplicity next door. |

The Yellow Room The Yellow Room has twin beds with Hästens mattresses and an en-suite shower room. Other furniture includes an oak wardrobe and a large antique chest of drawers. Again, the highly polished wide oak floorboards are rendered extra toe-friendly by a scattering of rugs. Leading off the Yellow Room is a spacious shower-room, ideal for decontaminating a couple of youngsters at the end of a busy day. The walk-in shower enclosure boasts two heads: one large fixed, high-pressure unit, plus a detachable hand-held rose. Other equipment in this bathroom includes a generous basin, heated towel rail, lavatory and extra radiator. |
The Living Area The open-plan living and dining space is floored with Cotswold flag stones, kept toasty warm on even the chilliest
days by highly efficient underfloor heating. In the seating area you also have the unequalled comfort of a magnificent open fire.
French doors lead onto the landscaped gardens and a small terrace equipped for al fresco dining on warmer days. Furniture is light oak and a particularly enjoyable touch is the spiral staircase
leading to the upper floor. |

The Kitchen The kitchen is sufficiently well-equipped to keep most cooks happily satisfied. The gas-fired Smeg range cooker gives you the opportunity to indulge in the standard of cooking you would like to attempt at home – if you only had the time! A large fridge-freezer and nine place-setting dishwasher are installed, and knives, pans and all other equipment are of the finest quality available, so even chopping an onion in The Billiard Room will prove to be a pleasure … |
The Utility Area In the utility area you will find a washing machine and a butler’s sink and of course, a downstairs loo is essential equipment in any well-appointed cottage! In the boiler room beside the cottage you will find a Victorian-style rise and fall airer, so laundry will always be reliably dry – whatever the weather - as well as a Weber barbecue for those drier days. |

Home Comforts As you would expect from a cottage of this standard, most of your daily needs are included in the price. We provide bed linen, towels, kitchen equipment, TV and a DAB radio with iPod dock, as well as plentiful hot water. As though all this weren’t enough, we do offer some further comforts to make your stay even more enjoyable. These include logs for the fire (cut from our own trees and properly seasoned), preserves handmade on the Aga up at the house and seasonal vegetables, fruit and eggs produced to organic standards just yards from the cottage table. On arrival, a starter pack is provided which includes eggs, milk, bread and seasonal vegetables from the garden and marmalade. Should further eggs and vegetables be desired during your stay they can be obtained from the house at a small charge. |
