A spacious, split-level holiday hideaway, this delightful holiday cottage makes an idyllic Hertfordshire getaway. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom cottage is set in countryside surroundings, near Old Hall Green, 2.5 miles from Puckeridge and 6.5 miles from historic Ware. Venture into the riverside town to take the children to the lido or Priory Park play area. Stroll beside the River Lea to see the famous Victorian gazebos, and spot wildlife at the Amwell Nature Reserve or Post Wood, both 8.5 miles away. Follow the 5-mile Chadwell Sculpture Trail through Ware, Great Amwell, Hertford and King’s Meads. Visit the fairy-tale Scott’s Grotto, with its shell-clad passages that extend some 20 metres into the hillside. Make a trip to Hatfield House, 18 miles away, to explore the Jacobean mansion and wander the elegant gardens and leafy woodland. You can also enjoy the parkland, which is home to a herd of some 160 deer.
Let yourselves into your getaway to find it offers ample space and a welcoming ambience throughout. From the hallway, there is access to your two bedrooms, a lovely twin and a sumptuous double, each with a charming, sloped ceiling and lots of storage for your clothing. The family shower room is also conveniently close by. Turn left and follow the hall, which has a wooden floor, to the top of a flight of four steps leading down into your open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With a high, vaulted ceiling, this delightful space will be the hub of your holiday home throughout your break. Unwind on the charming, comfortable sofas in here as you lose yourselves in the views through the glass French doors. Pull them open on summer days to bring in a breeze and so everyone can wander outside. Prepare delicious dishes for your family and friends in the kitchen area, then dine together before congregating in front of the Smart TV to while away the evening with a good film.
Play games with the children out on the grass in the enclosed garden. Serve summer meals out on the patio and take in the far-reaching rural vistas as the evening light fades and stars begin to appear. Guests at this property benefit from off-road parking for one car.
