About Keeper's Cottage

The old gamekeeper's cottage looks straight out to the woods. Big windows, a garden made for muddy boots and a welcome for your dog.

Keeper's Cottage was home to the estate's gamekeeper for more than a century. Now it's a bright, cosy cottage for four, with a farmhouse kitchen, a sitting room with a wood burner and deep sofas, and a window seat facing the trees, where you'll often spot deer at dusk.

Upstairs there's a king-size double and a twin room, both with blackout blinds and woodland views. Outside, the garden is fully fenced with a picnic bench and fire pit, and a gate leads straight onto the footpath into the forest.

Things guests always ask

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, one dog is welcome for £25 per stay. We leave a bed, bowls and a towel in the boot room. Dogs stay downstairs, please, and shouldn't be left alone in the cottage.

Where do I park?

Two cars fit in front of the cottage. The EV charger is right beside them.

Is there a hot tub?

Not at Keeper's Cottage. The Old Granary has one.

Where's the nearest pub and shop?

A dog-friendly traditional pub is about 5 minutes' drive away (or a 25-minute walk across the fields), and a village shop is 4 minutes' drive away. The nearest big supermarket is about 15 minutes' drive away.

Is there mobile signal?

Usually 2–3 bars on the main networks upstairs, less on the ground floor. The wifi is reliable.

Are there stairs?

Yes, a steep cottage staircase with a handrail. The bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs; there's a WC downstairs.
