Primrose Cottage

Picture
Primrose cottage is one of four cottages in what was once known as Primrose Alley. The first three cottages have now been converted into one dwelling where we live and we are pleased to offer Primrose Cottage as holiday accommodation for individuals and families looking to stay in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in this unique corner of The Garden of England. The cottage is believed to be built in the 15th Century and has a wealth of original and interesting features such as exposed beams, inglenook fire place and a small twisting staircase (with handrail).

Bikes

If you have your own bikes you can secure them in the patio area.  It is a fantastic area for cyclists and we frequently see a friendly peloton cruising through the village and surrounding areas.  We even have a cyclist cafe called the Independent Pedaler in the village which is a great stop-off point.
