About this property

The cosy large bedroom has an aspect of the garden and nearby woodlands. The comfortable kitchen is fully equipped to cover all your basic needs in which to prepare wonderful meals. The shower room still retains some of the original stone work.

Discovered in the fireplace of an old shepherd's cottage, that once stood on the site, Sixpenny Cottage takes its name from a Treasure Trove of James I Six Pence pieces. Now, it is a holiday cottage that offers pretty and peaceful surroundings. A leisurely stroll takes you to the Wishing Well where you can enjoy an extensive menu offering homemade cooking and a variety of delicious puddings and cakes. Take a slow walk around the gardens, making a wish at the wishing well and you walk around.

With an aura of yester years, the numerous attractive stone cottages which front the village add to this truly English scene. Sixpenny Cottage is a wonderful holiday home to enjoy a holiday.
