Breakfast is cooked when you come down
Breakfast is served at the long table in the farmhouse kitchen, beside the range. Choose from the card the evening before or when you sit down, and everything is cooked for you there and then.
Eggs come from the farm across the lane and the bread from the village baker. The jam on the table is made each autumn from rosehips picked in our own hedges, which is how the house got its name.
- Served from 08:00 to 09:30, or 07:00 by arrangement
- Vegetarian and vegan dishes every morning
- Dishes made without gluten on request
- Packed lunches for walkers at $12
Around the farmhouse
Between breakfast and bedtime the house and the garden are yours to use, as if you were staying with friends.
Sitting room
Deep sofas, a wood burner lit from October to April, and shelves of books, maps and board games.
Two acres outside
Lawns, a vegetable plot, an orchard of old apple trees and benches placed where the evening sun lands.
Boot room
A place for muddy boots and wet coats, with a drying rack that is warm again by the morning.
Honesty pantry
Local beer, wine, cordials and cake. Note what you take and settle up at the end of your stay.
Bike shed
A locked shed for bikes with a track pump and a basic repair kit on the wall.
Parking in the yard
Room for six cars, so every room has a space, plus a charging point for electric cars.
Inside and around Rosehip Cottage
The farmhouse, the rooms, the kitchen table and the orchard behind the house.
Guests remember breakfast (example reviews)
Breakfast alone was worth the drive: eggs cooked exactly as asked and that rosehip jam on warm toast. The Garden Suite opened straight onto the lawn, which our dog adored.
A quiet room, a very comfortable bed and a host who drew us a map of the best walk from the gate. We have already asked about coming back in spring.
Two old friends, twin beds and the sitting room fire every evening after long days on the hills. Spotless from top to bottom.
Before you stay
What time can we arrive?
Check in runs from 15:00 to 19:00. Arriving later is fine if you tell us your time; we leave your key in a lock box with a note on where everything is.
Are children welcome?
Children of any age can stay in the Garden Suite, which has a sofa bed and room for a travel cot. The other rooms are best suited to two adults.
Can we bring our dog?
One well behaved dog can stay in the Garden Suite for $15 a night. Dogs are welcome in the garden and the boot room, though not in the kitchen or the sitting room.
Can you cook for allergies and special diets?
Yes. Mention them in your stay request and we shop accordingly; dishes without gluten, dairy or eggs are all possible. Ours is a shared farmhouse kitchen, so we cannot promise that no trace of an allergen is present.
How do the deposit and cancellations work?
Once we confirm your dates we invoice the first night. Cancel 7 days or more before arrival and it comes back in full; after that it is kept unless we can let the room again.
Is the house easy to get around?
The Garden Suite is on the ground floor with one low step at its garden door, and the kitchen and sitting room are on the same level. The other four rooms are up a steep cottage staircase.
Send a stay request
Pick a room, add your dates and tell us who is coming. We reply the same day, or by 10:00 the next morning, to confirm the room or suggest the closest dates that are open.
- Nothing is booked until we reply to confirm
- The first night is invoiced once we confirm
- Breakfast is included for everyone in the room
