Sweet English Cottage
Lovely little cottage located in a quiet & quaint little village off the beaten path. Woke up to birds chirping and even seeing someone ride a horse down the lane ! The roads are flanked by beautiful meadows and ivy lined walls - definitely feels like a movie!! As lovely as it was it was a bit too far for us on this trip as it was our first to London, everything was as advertised . You will need a car to access it easily - but the owners gave us the train line that would be needed had we gone that route! Beautiful & Picturesque - be mindful the owners live downstairs and it being an older home you can hear every little movement both upstairs and down! 1 Car park is avail ! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Very obliging hosts
Staying in Farmstead with Eve was a delight. We were awaiting a flight home to Australia but circumstances conspired against us and out flight was cancelled. We needed accommodation in the lock down as we had nowhere to stay while we awaited a rescheduled flight. Eve was particularly considerate of our situation and agreed to host us.

About the host

Hosted by Eve

Host profile image
We live in the apartmnet downstairs and are very familiar with the area as we've been here for around 20 years. We can advise on things to do and see and make recommendations for local restaurants, shows, museums, village pubs and places of interest. There is a public golf club within easy reach as well as two shopping malls, a swimming pool, a Cathedral and the beautiful Chiltern Hills.
So, if you like the countryside, you're a Potter fan, you want a place with easy access to London, you're visiting the beautiful local area or need to catch an early flight, just let me know and I will do my best to be a great host! Thank you, Eve x

Why they chose this property

It’s lovely here - it's ‘5 minutes from the middle of nowhere and 10 minutes from the middle of everywhere' – that makes Ashleys a great base for most things. Horses ride past the front windows as there is a riding stables at the end of the lane. There are stunning, far reaching countryide views from the lovely balcony where you can sit and relax.

What makes this property unique

Although the apartment is on the outskirts of a village, it’s also close to all sorts of things, such as good restaurants and bars as well as theatres and live music venues and it’s easy to get to London or the airport via car or via public transport.Take a look at our web site for more information
There is parking space for one vehicle outside the apartment, buses run from the end of our lane and the train station with trains to London is within easy reach.
