A lovely cottage in a quiet village, set within the grounds of the main, original house. It was home from home with the exception of a garden for guests to sit in. There is, however, a patio/balcony with a hot tub and some seating. In the end, it didn't matter as the weather was not kind to us! The location is good to get around to all the places you want to visit, even with some road closures due to unforseen landslides and subsequent roadworks prior to our arrival. Karen had provided a well provisioned welcome pack which was great. They were kind and available hosts. Thank you. ##### Diana ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Ocean Blue](https://www.expedia.ca/Truro-Hotels-Ocean-Blue.h30994563.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Reading-Hotels-The-Great-House-At-Sonning.h4262991.Hotel-Information) > > [Wildflower Premium Lodge with private hot tub](https://www.expedia.ca/Cirencester-Hotels-Wildflower-Premium-Lodge-With-Private-Hot-Tub.h104903261.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hawkley Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Liss-Hotels-The-Hawkley-Inn.h4383820.Hotel-Information) > > [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Horse](https://www.expedia.ca/Chichester-Hotels-The-White-Horse.h22409908.Hotel-Information) > > [Grassington Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Grassington-Lodge.h76266496.Hotel-Information) > > [Pottery Barn](https://www.expedia.ca/Seaton-Hotels-Pottery-Barn.h27000419.Hotel-Information) > > [Stilworth House](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Stilworth-House.h33900336.Hotel-Information) > > [Ye Olde Red Lion](https://www.expedia.ca/Newbury-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Red-Lion.h5646204.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliveden House - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > > [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > > [Whittonlodge B&B & Holiday let](https://www.expedia.ca/Chesterfield-Hotels-Whitton-Lodge.h102157615.Hotel-Information) > > [Hermiston Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-Hermiston-Guest-House.h15060297.Hotel-Information) > > [Lovely 3-bed Home in Rookley on the Isle of Wight](https://www.expedia.ca/Ventnor-Hotels-Lovely-3-Bed-Home-In-Rookley-On-The-Isle-Of-Wight.h104238801.Hotel-Information) > > [Greenhill Farm Barn B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Banbury-Hotels-Greenhill-Farm-Barn-BB.h30105240.Hotel-Information) > > [Redwings Lodge Uppingham](https://www.expedia.ca/Oakham-Hotels-Redwings-Lodge-Uppingham.h518926.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sails a beautifully presented chalet bungalow with](https://www.expedia.ca/Chichester-Hotels-The-Sails-A-Beautifully-Presented-Chalet-Bungalow-With.h95118395.Hotel-Information) > > [Rose Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Rose-Cottage.h31001473.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carriage House](https://www.expedia.ca/Matlock-Hotels-The-Carriage-House.h27000422.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cross at Croscombe](https://www.expedia.ca/Wells-Hotels-The-Cross-At-Croscombe.h35380551.Hotel-Information) > > [Hopewell House](https://www.expedia.ca/Leeds-Hotels-Hopewell-House.h17133814.Hotel-Information) > > [Posh Huts](https://www.expedia.ca/Hexham-Hotels-Posh-Huts.h6410909.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Norwich-Hotels-Lakeside-Lodge.h31001547.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pheasant Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Hotels-The-Pheasant-Inn.h2276992.Hotel-Information) > > [Stone Cottage close to village shop, pool & pub](https://www.expedia.ca/Lechlade-Hotels-Traditional-Cottage-By-Cotswold-Wildlife-Park.h41552534.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bolton-Hotels-Bridge-Hotel.h44942256.Hotel-Information) > > [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information)
