This beautiful oak-clad cottage stands proudly amidst 270 acres of farmland. Appreciate the stunning countryside views and all that the area has to offer with your favourite people and pups. This modern yet rustic farmhouse-style property sleeps four humans and two hounds. Enjoy a sunny walk around the beautiful surrounding downlands and meet the friendly neighbourhood horses and animal residents on the farm. Dust off muddy paws and boots before relaxing in style with a glass of something bubbly, or a bowl of water, around the table on the private patio area.

Relax on the sofas in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and appreciate the beautiful elm beams and decoration as Fido pads around happily on the underfloor heated tiles. Take a short walk over to the contemporary kitchen and rustle up a tasty meal to enjoy around the solid wood dining table, whilst appreciating the magnificent view through the double doors leading to the patio. Enjoy a morning coffee from the comfort of your double bed and feel the country air waft through the open French doors with a Juliet balcony. Next door, there is a tastefully-decorated twin room and a stylish family bathroom.

Sparrow Hawk Cottage is beautiful. There is plenty of kitchen equipment for cooking plus sufficient crockery and cutlery. The cottage is well furnished with quality fabrics and sufficient drawer space and hanging space (in bedrooms). We holidayed in the winter so were unable to enjoy the outdoor eating area and BBQ with appropriate tools. I anticipRead moreate that we will return as it was also close to many interesting places-some left to visit! Hide

Beautiful, well equipped cottage. Lovely welcome gift on arrival too. 5 stars!! The cottage is open plan downstairs and has wooden floors throughout, so it is possible to hear every thing happening at anytime (be warned). Low beams in main bedroom, so taller people need to be aware of this (especially in middle of the night). These arent criticismsRead more though - just things to take into account when planning your holiday. Short drive into lovely little market town with good pubs and takeaways! Hide

Amazing to arrive on a busy A-road but have fields full of partridge, rabbits and deer out back with a sky full of insects and birds. The cottage is gorgeous and the nearby villages are chocolate-box pretty. We loved walking in the Chiltern hills and seeing Chequers was interesting.
