The biscuit jar will also have a supply of our famous shortbread for you to enjoy.

The comfortable lounge has a wall mounted TV. A three-seater sofa and two comfortable armchairs help to set a relaxing scene…just add a book and a glass of wine or a cup of tea, and relax.

Little Piece of Paradise
This was the most beautiful stayz place we have been to! The cottage is adorable and feels like home. It’s nestled in a lovely spot of the owners property with its own driveway and entrance and to be honest feels like your entering into a secret garden! The beds and linen were amazing, and the little touches with fresh Bread and milk and the short bread cookies just made it so special. We will be back for sure, my children would love to come here!

We stayed at The Cottage over Labour Day weekend which turned out to be extremely hot though you wouldn’t have known it. The Cottage was cool & very comfortable the entire time. The host could not have been more helpful & friendly, ensuring our stay there was enjoyable. The Cottage was very clean & tidy, the beds were the most comfortable I have slept in, in any holiday spot. I highly recommend

We highly recommend this country cottage!
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely, well appointed cottage. It had everything we needed. The facilities such as bathroom, kitchen, etc looked rather new. It was cozy, quiet, clean and exactly we hoped for. The bread, jam & homemade shortbread was delish! Thank you. We highly recommend The Cottage at Highfield Park.
