    This is a gem of a place. Beautifully decorated - everything is new, in immaculate condition and well equipped. The biscuits, French press coffee and complimentary sherry are all lovely touches that just illustrate how thoughtfully this cottage is...

    Amazing scenery, the room was spotless and had all the amenities you can think of. One of the best accommodation options in the Midlands. I will be returning. The perfect place to be if you just want peace and quiet.

Set in a park like garden with wonderful views over Howick, the cottage has a wonderful country feel to it with the convenience of being close to major road routes. The Midlands Meander is on our door step and the property is an ideal location when attending Weddings or other such functions in the Midlands. Hilton and St Anne's Colleges are just a few minutes drive away. Enjoy the peace of living in the country with all the convenience of living in town.
We have lived here for 20 years and just love sharing the experience of the lovely views of the country and home away from home with our guests,
The Midland is unique and has something to offer everyone, whether you are looking for a quiet getaway or looking to partake in the many events or activities in the area. Easy access to all private schools. There are a number of shopping centers and eateries only 10 minutes away. Health care facilities in Howick and Hilton are also just a short 10 Minute drive.
