A delightful escape in a peaceful countryside setting, this careful conversion encompasses all you need for an enjoyable Hertfordshire stay. Sleeping two people, the one-bedroom retreat offers comfortable, single-storey accommodation close to Old Hall Green, 6.5 miles from Ware. Enjoy the cottage as a base from which to head out to nearby beauty spots, villages and towns. Visit Ware to dine out, potter in the shops and meander alongside the River Lea. Keep your eyes open for water birds and the attractive Victorian gazebos positioned on the banks, designed to enable residents to experience the tranquillity of the river. Also visit the enchanting Scott’s Grotto, with its rooms and passages clad in a myriad of shells, fossils and other small items. Plan a day trip to Audley End House and Gardens, 19 miles away, with its splendid state rooms and exquisite parterre gardens, designed by Capability Brown.
Make your way into your cosy rural conversion and find yourselves feeling immediately at home. The main accommodation here is an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a stripped wooden floor and vaulted ceiling, where you can rest, recuperate and enjoy quality time away together between each of your exciting excursions. Head over to the kitchen corner to unpack any fresh local produce you have bought, then set about conjuring up snacks and full meals to share at the table. Kick back on the comfortable chair or the sofa to chat about your day or surf the channels on the Smart TV, looking for a good boxset to watch. When you are ready to stretch out for the night, stroll through to the double bedroom, which also has a gentle country style, to savour a great night’s sleep. The adjoining en-suite means you can indulge in a steaming hot shower every morning or evening with ease.
Enjoy spring and summer meals outside in the sunshine at the bistro table in the shared, lawned courtyard. Chat over a glass of wine out here as the sun goes down during the evening. There is parking here for one car in a shared off-road area.
