Our second stay at this lovely, well equipped and very comfortable property in what must be a fairly unique location. To have Nowton Park to step out into everyday was a joy both for us and our dog. In addition to the usual tourist haunts, we would thoroughly recommend Bradfield Woods and also Fullers Mill near West Stowe Country park is an absoluRead morete must for garden lovers. Hide

We loved staying at Gardeners Cottage, it s perfect for exploring such a beautiful area and so many things to do there on site and Ickworth is close by too. We hired bikes for the day there and loved it. Coffee machine is a filter machine not a Nespresso machine which was a shame. Beds comfortable, all very clean, would certainly return.

We had a lovely long weekend staying in the cottage with the family. The location was perfect for us having the dog. She loved the garden and being able to walk in Nowton Park. The dining room was brilliant for our evening board games plus a big roast dinner. We would absolutely recommend the cottage to anyone.
