Property info

In an area of outstanding beauty, Masons Cottage was built of Cotswold stone in the 1800's and overlooks a large 1.5 acre country garden which is shared with the owners. The cottage is attached to the main house, but is totally self-contained. There is onsite parking & fast broadband. We provide a complimentary welcome pack, including eggs from our free range chickens and honey from the garden apiary. There is a spacious en suite king bedroom (comfortable bed & organic cotton), sitting room and fully equipped kitchen including GRIND coffee machine and BOSE bluetooth speaker. One well-behaved dog (small/medium breed) is welcome from January to mid-August only, as there will be no sheep in the adjoining field. The garden is not totally dog proof & we have free range chickens roaming so ask that dogs are kept on a lead in the garden when the chickens are out from 11am-3pm. a separate pet fee is payable if bringing a dog with you. The garden, and approach to the cottage, is typical Cotswold rolling countryside & the private car parking is approximately 50 meters from the cottage. The driveway is quite steep and may not be suitable for low profile cars. We have two Working Cocker Spaniels who are very friendly and well trained, but very busy!! They may great you when you arrive! Electricity sockets are available for guests to use if you have an electric car & your own adapter for charging. We charge a fifteen pound fee for up to a 3 night stay to guests wishing to use the electrical supply to charge their car.
