A UNIQUE SETTING FOR A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE...
Nature enthusiasts and tranquillity seekers will find their haven at Till Cottage. From the graceful flight of kingfishers and herons to the majestic presence of swans and the gentle hoot of barn owls, wildlife lovers will be in their element! The riverside gardens allow plenty of space for children to run about in; there is an outdoor tree swing and table tennis for entertainment. On a warm summer’s day, guests can enjoy watching swans swim along the river Till, rustling up a meal on the BBQ and dining outdoors whilst watching the sun go down.
When the weather outside is less than inviting, revel in the warmth and charm indoors. Cosy up by the roaring log burner, savour the rich aroma of a freshly brewed coffee from our top-notch Sage Barista coffee machine, or unwind with a TV evening in the snug. At Till Cottage, even if the weather is less than perfect, your stay promises to be a warm and delightful escape, where comfort and relaxation take centre stage.
