The Loft part of Kingham Cottages

The simply stunning loft apartment is accessed by an external stone staircase and enters into a wonderfully light open plan space with limed oak flooring, beams and some interesting arts and crafts period furniture. Sleeping 4 or 6 this is a flexible and comfortable space. The open plan loft with carefully designed views into the tree tops is a spacious yet homely location. The open plan dining / living area leads into a fully fitted kitchen with fridge/freezer, oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. Of the living area is the master bedroom with TV, a walk-in shower with double sink, and a twin room with en-suite bathroom including a walk-in shower and double ended bath. The twin beds can be zip and linked together to form a super king. Two further beds can be put up in this large bedroom, making it ideal for children sharing. The property has been finished to an exceptionally high spec with double glazing, underfloor heating, excellent insulation and high quality fixtures and furnishings. Our cottages are notoriously well equipped including fully stocked catering cupboards from pans to serving dishes, champagne glasses to oils and spices. There are hairdryers and sewing kits as well as soaps, linen and towels. On arrival there is tea, coffee, milk, butter, jam and a freshly made loaf of bread so you can make yourself at home while you unpack. A travel cot and high chair are in the property as well as some games and books. Guests also have shared access to our beautiful indoor heated pool and Turkish hammam as well as use of the hard tennis court and five acres of beautiful landscaped gardens. The gardens are spectacular with topiary and sculptures to enjoy and wonder at, two ponds perfect for watching birds and fishes and in the middle of the garden is a unique Pavilion inspired by The Alhambra. The owners live on-site so if you have any problems during your stay there is always someone available for you to ask for help.
