About this property

Romantic 1890s Abode - Special Event Accommodation

Take a step back in time in this beautifully appointed 1890's cottage. The venue has been tastefully decorated, paying homage to the period it was built, whilst having all the mod cons to make your stay cozy and relaxing.

The venue makes an ideal abode for wedding accommodation, that special event, or just to escape reality for a time and get lost in those old world vibes.

The evergreen gardens are great for a stroll, photography or even some yard games that are on hand. Or simply just be!

Lovey place
Beautiful place. Had literally more than we ever needed. Pictures don’t do it justice it’s huge and has a massive back yard. 100% would stay here again. Only complaint was that there were few cockroaches in the kitchen but once we got rid of them all was fine!

Wedding day perfection
I booked this venue for my wedding party to get ready at, followed by me and my partners relaxing house to return to after the wedding. The communication prior was great, there was no issues at all.The venue is stunning and is beautifully furnished - it really is a romantic homestead. Even though it is in an estate area, the property itself is quite large and fenced with large hedges, so you feel isolated.The bride maids and vendors who saw it was all amazed, it is a great photo location for a wedding.We are definitely rebooking in future.
