The Garden Cottage has been refurbished during 2010 to provide overflow accommodation for parties taking any of the other Ormidale houses. It is not available to book on its own, so there will still only be the maximum of three parties on the estate at any one time.
Sitting in the same courtyard as The Mill House and the Old Barn, it is a lovely old stone cottage with a slate roof. The waxed oak floor throughout gives a warmth and a touch of authenticity; the bathroom is travertine tiled in a wet-room style and is the same finish and look as the rest of the estate.
We have used the space to try and create as much flexibility as possible in the accommodation provided. With two bedrooms and two additional box-style bunk spaces (one off the bed-sitting room, and one just opposite the bathroom) you could accommodate 8 or 9 guests.
There is a bedroom with a basin, and a sitting room with a kitchen area (and a bed settee.) The shower-room sits in between the bedroom and the sitting room, with a bunk area opposite it. A second bunk / box room lies off the sitting room. Both bunk areas have a threequarter sized mattress at the lower level and a single above.
The whole space is on the same ground floor level, and is designed to be as accessible as possible for people of limited mobility. Positioned just 5 metres from the Mill House and fewer than 15 from the Old Barn, the Garden Cottage works well as additional accommodation for either.
Prices for 2011, short-break rental followed by weekly rental. If only required for two people, we will occasionally be able to discount.
