About this cottage rental
Ashworth House is a hidden delight, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When you arrive, the property appears as an unassuming country cottage but once inside you are greeted by spacious rooms, breathtaking views, contemporary décor and beautiful finishing touches. A great deal of love has gone into the property you see today and you will cherish your time here.
Each room at Ashworth House has its own personality, no less the expansive open plan kitchen/dining area which has a potted tree at its centre. With skylights above and windows perfectly framing the sublime garden views this room is filled with light and is the heart of the home. Made for celebrations there is space to mingle while meals are prepared, perhaps by a private chef, opening the French doors to sip wine in the garden. Two living rooms give you space to relax and unwind with your feet up in front of the wood burning stove. Choose the drawing room and retreat from the modern world, enjoying a good book, or watch the latest blockbuster in the sitting room on the large smart TV. With a handy boot room/utility, Ashworth House has everything you could possibly need. At the end of the day picking your favourite bedroom is a challenging affair with an emperor four poster, double bedrooms full of charm and twin rooms hidden on the second floor.
Outside, the garden is the cherry on the cake. With a lawn stretching out to the views beyond, this is a fabulous spot for a picnic, to play with the children and to give the dog some freedom. Grill up a feast on the BBQ and dine together enjoying these peaceful surroundings. There is off road parking for four cars with two end-to-end in the open garage and additional spaces on the drive.

We had a wonderful multi-generational family weekend at Ashworth House for a low key 80th birthday celebration. The house easily accommodated 12 of us with huge kitchen-dining area plus 2 other reception rooms (one with a very large TV) for those who wanted to seek out some peace and quiet. The kitchen had 2 large fridges and an Aga, plus additional gas hob. The large outdoor seating area accommodated all of us and the competitive members of the family enjoyed the croquet and boule. This house was a joy to stay in, not only was it beautiful with stunning views but had all we needed for a relaxing weekend and would recommend it.

This spacious, beautifully decorated home spans 3 floors and features a charming garden with breath taking views of the surrounding countryside. Every room has been meticulously designed with elegant, high end décor, and the house boasts delightful period features throughout.
The stunning kitchen was a highlight, with an extraordinary tree at its centre, it created a unique and memorable space. The ground floor ensuite bedroom is thoughtful addition, providing accessibility for guests with mobility issues. All bathrooms are modern and stylish, ensuring comfort and convenience.
Claire, the attentive and responsive housekeeper, added a personal touch, and made sure everything ran smoothly. This property is perfect for large family gatherings, offering ample space and luxury.
A few things to note - bring your own toiletries as these are not provided, be mindful of the step in the lounge, the master bedroom has an extremely soft mattress which might not suit everyone's preference especially if you have back issues.
A memorable and delightful place to stay, providing a perfect blend of comfort, elegance and natural beauty.
