Escape to the rolling countryside of Bedfordshire for a quiet break with the one you love, choosing this charming cottage as your cosy abode. It’s top dog for your waggy-tailed companion too, with ample sleeping spots for two accompanying pooches. The owners really have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable, and have even provided a welcome pack brimming with goodies and essentials.
Situated next to the owner’s home, this quintessential cottage has an enchanting fairy-tale ambience. A roaring wood burner crackles invitingly in the inglenook fireplace, lulling sleepy canines into a peaceful snooze by the hearth. A farmhouse-sized table and contemporary-style kitchen will be the envy of any budding cook, but al fresco feasts are the order of the day when you head outside to relax in the private rose garden, which features an external inglenook fireplace with an open fire. Upstairs, the gorgeous bedroom has an irresistible bed and a lavish shower room ideal for washing messy paws after a stroll around the shared grounds. Straddling the banks of the River Ouse, the garden is simply breathtaking for a leisurely amble, where you can pad through the gardens, pastures and woodlands scattered with free-roaming chickens and visiting wildlife.
Grab Fido’s lead and set off across the grounds, admiring the views of the neighbouring deer park and accessing a variety of exciting trails to surprise and delight your stick-chasing pal. If you can tear yourself away, Bedford is 6 miles away and enjoys a marvellous riverside setting with a variety of independent shops, restaurants and cafes to visit. The market town is steeped in history, where budding historians can lose themselves amongst the museums and galleries whilst Rover sniffs out the pretty parks and waterside walks.
