Bowhill Grange is a fabulous AirBnB just out of Oatlands but feels like you're in another time and another world.
We stayed in Elizabeth's Cottage which has 2 bedrooms. I picked the one upstairs. They are the most amazing stairs and so steep. I felt like I might be a character from Wuthering Heights as I ascended the stairs to the sound of wind howling across the moors (ok, they're paddocks but moors sounds way more atmospheric).
The cottage is so well equipped and has everything you could need, plus so many gorgeous extras. It is spotlessly clean and fresh throughout.
Peter and Ruth met us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. The fire had been lit (the wind was quite chilly already) and we were soon snuggled up lazily for the afternoon.
So peaceful here, absolutely beautiful surroundings. I know the world is really only 5 minutes up the road but this is the perfect place to escape from it for a while.
