Tucked away in the charming village of Sutton-on-the-Forest, this period hideaway is perfect for a romantic retreat – and your faithful four-pawed pals are more than welcome to join you. Attached to a magnificent Grade I-listed stately home, this bijou bolthole offers a unique setting, with access to 50 acres of glorious, shared gardens for you and your waggy-tailed companions to explore together.
Step inside this gorgeous 17th-century cottage, where the bright and spacious lounge is a lovely spot to relax after a day of adventures with dual-aspect windows, plantation shutters, and colourful seating to sink into. On cooler days, light the open fire and let your pup curl up at your feet while you catch up on your favourite shows on the TV. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking meals for two (and perhaps a treat or two for your canine friend). When night falls, head upstairs to your inviting bedroom, beautifully decorated with panelling and polished wooden floors. Treat yourself to a long soak in the free-standing bath in the en-suite, then sink into the sumptuous bed for a restful night’s sleep. On sunny days, your private courtyard garden is the place to relax with your canine chum by your side. Light the BBQ and soak up the tranquillity. Private parking for one car is provided.
