This fairytale cottage hides a smart contemporary addition, built in the same style with the same local oak to mirror the craftsmanship of the older house. It features plenty of sofas to relax on, TV, wifi, a glass roofed dining area, and all modern conveniences. Four of the cottage's bedrooms are up spiral staircases and one double bedroom is on the ground floor (it even has its own external door). The open plan kitchen/living area has a range cooker, separate fridge and freezer, and plenty of food prepping area. But if you don't feel like cooking, the village pub is less than 100 yards away serving amazing gastronomy. There is a billiard room with a 6ft pool table and an assortment of board games. Guest access Guests get the run of the entire house and garden. The garden door leads directly on to a wooded path which leads up the hill and into the forest. Parking on the lane is free but be aware that the village is very popular with walkers and parking on the weekend can sometimes be difficult. Please respect our neighbours' drives and do not park in front of their access points. Other things to note Staying in this ancient cottage constructed with 13th century beams and looking out at a beautiful 12th Century Norman church is not just a way to experience history but to connect with nature and the countryside with delightful walks all around, ready and waiting for your wellies. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Stair-free path to entrance - Thin carpet in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Table tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Golfing nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours 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) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Garden - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/124000000/123600000/123597600/123597554/597a35cc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious Hideaway- Cadmore End- Chiltern Hills - Pass the Keys Cadmore End - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-15&endDate=2026-01-16&selected=123597554&PinnedHotelID=123597554&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59210000/59200700/59200651/6b9bfc17.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Enjoy a Stay in Our Warm and Welcoming Home!
