Number 18 Loves Lane, is a cosy little cottage, built in the 1800's of Bath stone, by the Love Family for the workers on their estate. It is at the end of a row of 5 cottages which are all different, giving the row a unique character which has led to them being considered worthy of a Grade 2 listing. The cottage has recently been freshly decorated throughout. The accommodation comprises 2 double bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with a king size bed that can convert into twin beds - (PLEASE NOTE THE CHOICE IS A KING SIZE BED OR 2 SINGLES - NOT BOTH), we can also provide a travel cot and high chair. The lounge has a 3 seater sofa, and a large, comfortable armchair, a dining table and a log burner for cosy evenings in, with logs and kindling provided for your fire. There is a Smart tv, with dvd player. There is a modern, well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, microwave, oven with an induction hob as well as a coffee- bean grinder and toaster. The downstairs bathroom has a lovely shower and a small bath. As is usual in a cottage of this age, the stairs are steep and there is one doorway that can catch out the unwary (and tall) as it is rather low. Your comfort and enjoyment are really important to us and so Number 18 is furnished to the standard and style we would want when holidaying. It is a characterful, individual and eclectic space with many interesting touches, for instance curtains made of old French linen sheets with the initials of the couple who owned them embroidered on the fabric, and a lovely old artist's table as well as old, wooden floorboards throughout. All linens and towels are provided. Further towels can be provided for those wanting to wild swim in the river, just a mile away. Number 18 has been described by our guests as "quaint", "secluded", "romantic" and "an ideal location for quiet, cosy nights in." The village of Wingfield has a popular pub, The Poplars, which is within walking distance, a school and a church; it is a quiet base from which to explore the beautiful local area. There is a very pretty garden at the rear with dining table and chairs and a charcoal barbecue. The front garden has a 2 seater bench. Both are cottage gardens. Please note, there is no grass for your dog, but there is a suitable walk, just a minute or so away, which is ideal for the last and first walk of the day.
