Michaelmas Cottage was formerly two estate workers' cottages on the Batsford Estate in the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Hill a couple of miles from the Cotswold market town of Moreton-in-Marsh.
Furnished and fitted by the owners as their second home rather than as a holiday let, the cottage was built about 300 years ago and has been renovated to a high standard with all modern facilities whilst retaining the original beams, two large inglenook fireplaces, exposed brickwork, window seats and floorboards. A new woodburning stove has been fitted in addition to gas central heating.
The accommodation is on three floors reached by winding staircases. The main bedroom on the top floor has a luxurious 6 foot wide Adjustamatic bed with massage facility and a bright new adjacent shower room (power shower) with wash basin and WC. A cosy single bedroom on this floor has a built-in bed (optional bed guard). A portable cot is also available. The twin bedroom is on the first floor with the addition of a desk, wireless Broadband and Skype phone (account required). The bathroom has an original claw foot bath, separate shower cubicle with power shower, wash basin and WC. Downstairs there is a good sized sitting room with inglenook fireplace, woodburning stove, the latest widescreen TV with satellite channels, DVD, iPod docking station, radio and CD player plus an excellent supply of books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, games and jigsaws. The dining room also has a large inglenook fireplace and the table seats 6 plus a chair for little ones. The compact extremely well equipped kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and full size washing and drying machines.
High quality cotton bed linen, waffle robes, towels and tea towels are provided together with a range of toiletries from The White Company.
Outside a wooden table and four chairs can be found under the shady boughs of the apple tree in the idyllic south facing cottage garden and there is on-site parking for one car and further parking in the village lanes for additional cars. There are stunning views of the garden to one side with far reaching views of the Batsford Estate to the other.
The beautiful village of Bourton-on-the-Hill is the home of Batsford Arboretum, Falconry and Garden Centre, Bourton House Garden and the Sezincote Estate all open to the public, Batsford throughout the year.
The village pub at the top of the hill provides an extremely warm welcome with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere – log fires in the winter and a landscaped garden with far-reaching Cotswold views in the warmer months. The food and wine is exceptional, being sourced from local suppliers, and is sought after for miles around (booking essential).
