Overview

The cottage offers a glimpse into history with mullioned windows, original oak beams and a large stone fireplace housing a flickering wood burner for cosy nights in. Lovingly restored to create an elegant home, the modern kitchen invites budding chefs and the seven sumptuous bedrooms, three of those in the converted barn yards away from the main house, provide a restful space to return to at the end of the day.

Old world charm blends effortlessly with modern design to create a stunning garden room that makes an occasion out of every meal with large windows framing country views.

The enchanting gardens are a sight to behold. Manicured lawns stretch out to reveal an array of trees and flowerbeds bursting with colour in the summer months. Young and old will enjoy exploring the wild woodland where you can pick fruit from the branches above and berries from nearby hedges. You can also collect eggs to add to a leisurely brunch best served al-fresco.

And at the end of a busy day, what better way to spend your evenings than surrounded by stars in the tranquil outdoor hot tub.

The Dairy House is surrounded by private parkland that forms part of the stunning Dillington Estate, a 3000 acre working farm and countryside estate. You can explore your surroundings with leisurely walks and there are plenty of country pubs to fall into for a taste of the region.

Although the garden is enclosed it isn't dog proof so if a dog is prone to wandering off then it could find a way out…but there is also a secure area of the garden as well, designed for chickens rather than dogs, but pretty secure! The house is also surrounded by the parkland of Dillington Park, and so a great spot for walking dogs too.Mature garden with lawn and fruit trees (guest are welcome to pick fruit when in season) Private wooded area to the back of the garden. Chicken coop in the orchard (guests are welcome to collect their own eggs)
