Accommodation and Facilities

Rose Cottage is a stone-built, spacious, self-catering holiday cottage set in a large, enclosed garden in the quiet and pretty village of Wootton Courtenay.  With its inglenook fireplaces and other features, it retains the feel of an 18^th Century rural cottage but has been decorated and equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable, relaxing and comfortable break.

The very attractively planted south-facing gardens are peaceful with lovely views across the surrounding countryside and plenty of lawn.  There’s a seating area on the lawn and a picnic bench on the patio.  There’s also a small garden opposite the cottage, on the other side of the quiet country lane, planted with apple trees and various other trees and shrubs.

Facilities at the cottage include a flat-screen HD television, a DVD player, and wireless internet.  The kitchen is very well-equipped and there is a dishwasher, washing machine and tumble-drier. You’ll also find a barbeque, table-tennis table and a range of books, DVDs and games. For babies, there’s a cot (bedding not provided), playpen, high chair and stair gate.
