About the host
Hosted by Mike Newton
I live near Ashbourne in Derbyshire, the so called "Gateway to the Peaks" but I have always loved travelling to the Cotswolds for long weekend breaks and holidays. I felt the time was right back in 2016 to purchase my own country bolthole in the area and be able to explore even more of this beautiful part of the country.
Why they chose this property
From the moment I first walked into Caffreys Cottage, I immediately felt at home and the feeling of space generated by the open plan ground floor was inherent from that moment. The Cottage has the benefit of all modern facilities but also has the character features that I was looking for.
What makes this property unique
I believe that the Cottage is a real home from home, is bright and airy in the summer but also cosy and snug in the colder months. Furnished beautifully, comfort has not been compromised and the location is perfect to take full advantage of all that the Cotswolds has to offer.
