These three cottages contrast traditional farm buildings in a secluded, rural setting with contemporary furnishing, art and technology. Recharge your batteries in Five Star, Gold Award luxury or by walking 8 miles of private tracks that connect with the 110 mile Nene Way. Alternatively consult the extensive ‘What To Do ‘ section of our website, http://www.nenevalleycottages.co.uk/northants.cfm, and explore the wider area which is famous for its country houses, gardens, market towns and music and literature festivals. There are many excellent pubs and restaurants within easy reach with some selling beer from our own microbrewery.

All our guests refer to the peace and tranquillity of the cottages and their setting and we provide a welcome pack that includes sausages and bacon made on the farm and which enables you to have a light supper and breakfast the following day without needing to shop.

Being over four miles from the nearest shops, it is impractical to spend time here without a car, but we have planted several thousand trees on the farm so, when it comes to carbon footprint, you holiday here on the side of the angels.

Graham Sleeps 4

Alice

Sleeps 2

Bedrooms 1; Bath/Shower Rooms 1; Dines 6; Ensuite Bedrooms 1; Ground floor facilities; Children welcome; Freeview; WiFi; Central heating; Disabled facilities;

Alice was our friend who lived in the village with her husband Len and who sadly suffered many years of crippling arthritis. They really wanted these buildings restored and we did so in her memory. It has a double bedroom, wetroom/bathroom and a sitting room with south facing French windows and glorious views. Art by Rachel Budd, Hughie O’Donoghue and Arturo di Stefano, amongst others, continues the contemporary feel. This cottage inter-connects with Len to create a large three bedroomed, three bathroomed unit which works for all the family, particularly if one couple is not as mobile as the rest. As mentioned above, Alice has a few features that make it particularly suitable for people with impaired mobility but you will hardly notice them if you don’t need them.

There is a sofa bed for a carer.
