Overview
Weaver’s Cottage is a truly special countryside retreat, tucked away within the peaceful gardens of the historic 15th-century Cloth Hall. Surrounded by beautiful grounds, a duck-filled pond and rolling countryside, it offers complete calm from the moment you arrive — a place guests regularly describe as even better than the photos.
Lovingly converted and finished to an exceptional standard, the cottage blends character with luxury. Inside, the living space is warm and inviting, with a large comfy sofa positioned perfectly in front of the wood-burning stove — ideal for slow evenings with a glass of wine after a day exploring. There are also two pouffes in the lounge that unfold into two single beds, ideal for children or small adults. The well-equipped kitchen makes self-catering effortless, while thoughtful touches throughout help you feel instantly at home.
The standout feature, time and again, is the stunning spa-style bathroom. With underfloor heating, a huge freestanding bath and a separate rainfall shower, it feels more like a boutique hotel or private spa than a countryside cottage. The super-king bedroom is equally indulgent, with guests praising the comfort of the bed and the peaceful nights’ sleep.
Outside, enjoy your own enclosed courtyard with garden furniture and barbecue, or unwind in the optional private hot tub, with hire priced at £50 per night and available year-round. During the warmer months, from May to September, guests can also enjoy access to the heated outdoor swimming pool, set within the grounds, between 9am and 4pm on weekdays and 9am and 1pm at weekends, at no additional cost.
The Cottage is also pet friendly and perfect for romantic getaways, family stays, birthdays, honeymoons or simply switching off. Weaver’s Cottage offers rare tranquillity, beautiful surroundings and effortless comfort — a place guests return to again and again.
Larger groups can enjoy exclusive use of the whole site, sleeping up to 14 guests, please enquire for more details.
