Bourton-on-the-Hill, North Cotswolds: Luxury newly renovated and refurbished Cotswold Stone Cottage with stunning views near the market town of Moreton-in-Marsh, Michaelmas Cottage has three bedrooms and sleeps 5 plus a baby. It has a wood-burning stove set in a large inglenook fireplace, beams and original floorboards. It overlooks its own south facing cottage garden to one side with views across the beautiful Batsford Estate which is directly behind the cottage.
Michaelmas Cottage was formerly two estate workers' cottages on the Batsford Estate in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Hill less than 2 miles from the market town of Moreton-in-Marsh.
It is our second home and has been furnished and fitted for ourselves rather than as a holiday let. Built about 300 years ago, it has been renovated to a high standard whilst retaining the original beams, two large inglenook fireplaces, exposed stone, window seats and many floorboards. A new woodburning stove has been fitted in addition to gas central heating.
The accommodation is on three floors reached by winding staircases. The main bedroom on the top floor has a luxurious 6 foot wide Adjustamatic bed with massage facility with a bright new adjacent shower room with wash basin and WC. A cosy single bedroom beyond has a built-in bed with the option of a portable crib.
The twin bedroom is on the first floor with the addition of a desk, Broadband, fax/copier and Skype phone (account required). The bathroom has an original claw foot bath, separate shower cubicle, wash basin and WC. Downstairs is a good sized sitting room with inglenook fireplace, woodburning stove, the latest widescreen TV with satellite channels, DVD, radio and CD player plus an excellent supply of books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, board games and jigsaws.
The dining room also has a large inglenook fireplace and the table seats 6 plus a chair for little ones. The compact well equipped kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing and drying machines.
Outside a smart wooden table and 4 chairs can be found under the shady boughs of the apple tree in the idyllic south facing cottage garden and there is parking for two cars. There are stunning views of the garden to one side with far reaching views of the Batsford Estate to the other.
A food basket with local produce will greet you upon arrival and we are happy to reserve a table on your first night at The Horse & Groom, the excellent village inn, as advance booking is essential.
Please note: Due to the winding staircases it may not be suitable for the elderly or infirm. In addition, as it has not been possible to fit a safety stair gate, parents must bear this in mind. Parents/guardians are responsible for the children in their party at all times.
Bookings taken Mon-Fri, Fri-Mon or Fri-Fri except during school holiday, public holidays, Easter, Christmas & New Year when bookings are taken for 7 nights only. Please enquire with your specific dates for a quotation. |
