    So many thoughtful touches throughout the cottage, immaculately kept, quiet, secluded, and cosy. Particularly appreciated the very comfortable bed, heated bathroom floors, and glorious east facing location with lots of beautiful morning light! Thank you for a memorable stay.

  • Jackie

    Agnes and Chris are such very good hosts too. Thank you for the welcome pack of goodies. Views from the cottage of Ivinghoe beacon as we sat watching a constant fly by of Red Kites.( For two dedicated bird watchers this was such an unexpected treat.) We have stayed at many properties over many years and Closefield is at the top of the list. Don’t hesitate, it’s even better than it looks folks!
