Philippa's photos do not due this space justice. A short walk down the lane to the cottage and the noise of the city melts away. This cottage is modern, charming, and has a lot of stylish touches. I felt at ease and at "home", the moment I arrived. Make sure to take time to explore the estate, the stables are a short 15 minute walk. I loved the farm animals in the field right across from the cottage, the birds, horses and the quiet. The cottage has all the amenities you'll need, a fully coffee, tea bar, all dishes, pans, and kettle are in great shape. No second hand mishmash of items. There is an eat in kitchen, but I preferred to take my morning tea in the courtyard. Lovely place, highly recommend.
