The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen/diner with electric oven and hob, fridge freezer and dishwasher. At one end is a table and chairs for four. There is a spacious lounge with comfortable seating and large screen TV. Upstairs are two bedrooms - one with a king size bed and one double. The roomy bathroom features a bath with shower over. The cottage has gas central heating with a combi boiler providing on-demand hot water. Outside is a charming courtyard garden fitted out with bench seating on three sides and a dining table. The courtyard is something of a sun trap (although there is ample shade provided by the pretty wisteria) and is perfect for enjoying an outdoor meal, drink or just relaxing with a book. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property - Note from host: No smoking or naked flames in cottage or courtyard ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Bar (on property)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19170000/19160700/19160668/3b924513.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Banyers House Royston - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Air conditioning 9.0 Wonderful 166 reviews £121 includes taxes & fees 21 Dec - 22 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-21&endDate=2025-12-22&selected=19160668&PinnedHotelID=19160668&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Garden](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2570000/2563100/2563001/f3669812.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Sun Hitchin by Greene King Inns Hitchin - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Business services 7.4 Good 457 reviews £65 includes taxes & fees 14 Dec - 15 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=2563001&PinnedHotelID=2563001&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38100000/38093300/38093290/249d8b53.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Green Man Biggleswade - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.4 Very good 204 reviews £77 includes taxes & fees 12 Dec - 13 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-12&endDate=2025-12-13&selected=38093290&PinnedHotelID=38093290&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Miscellaneous](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4940000/4934600/4934537/eb339d81.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Orchard House Royston - Parking included - Free WiFi - Breakfast available - Housekeeping 9.2 Wonderful 302 reviews £85 includes taxes & fees 10 Dec - 11 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-10&endDate=2025-12-11&selected=4934537&PinnedHotelID=4934537&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Deluxe Double Room, Ensuite (With 4 Poster Bed)](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9520000/9510200/9510176/29531e30.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Villare Hitchin Town Centre Hitchin - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Breakfast available 7.2 Good 365 reviews £60 includes taxes & fees 14 Dec - 15 Dec [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-14&endDate=2025-12-15&selected=9510176&PinnedHotelID=9510176&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 25 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Rules Children welcome but guests to bring own baby cot/equipment & bedding.
