Willow Cottage
Willow Cottage is a stunning new ECO build, oozing style and character, finished to the highest standards, with ample parking, a large private garden and patio.
The bright interior is welcoming, and the distinctive decorative features are picked out in a vibrant yet cosy Nordic palette. This high specification, luxury, spacious cottage sits in a lovely rural location in the fenlands of Cambridgeshire with views over open countryside.
The cottage benefits from underfloor heating throughout and has a super log burner for those winter evenings.
French doors from the living area lead outside to the huge enclosed garden and fairy-lit pergola perfect for al-fresco dining or drinks in fine weather.
The high quality super-king beds and soft linen will leave guests feeling refreshed and ready to seek out more of what this unique part of the Cambridgeshire has to offer.
All on one level, and with level access from the driveway, it is also perfect for those who prefer not to use stairs, or for wheelchairs and less able guests.
**Please note that four of the bedrooms can be made either as twins or superking beds. The sofa bed is in a private room with a door and curtains**
Drinking & Dining
Inside Willow Cottage you will find a large open plan kitchen diner with a stylish dining table that can seat up to 20 guests.
The kitchen provides all utilities including fridge/freezer, dishwasher, two electric ovens, induction hob, microwave and wine fridge. The separate utility room includes a washing machine and boot/coatroom.
Out in the newly landscaped garden, there is bistro seating for up to 10 guests and comfy outdoor sofas under a fairy-lit pergola, so treat yourself to some alfresco dining and relaxing at any time of day.
Stored for your convenience, there is salt, pepper, sugar, tea, coffee, toilet rolls, soap, bin liner, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and clothes detergent.
Willow Cottage does have a Lavazza coffee machine so if you would like to add additional pods to your shop you will need to purchase the Modo Mio pods.
Ocado (Waitrose), Sainsbury’s and Tesco deliver directly to Willow Cottage, so you can order your shopping with delivery on your arrival.
Living
The fabulous log burner is a real focal point of the large open plan living area, with a generous starter basket of wood and kindling supplied (with more available from your very own log store).
Relax on one of the three inviting and sumptuously soft sofas, piled high with plump cushions, fluffy blankets and cosy throws and snuggle in to watch the internet-enabled TV.
The cinema room provides a great space for both adults and children complete with a comfy double sofa bed, giving a full cinematic experience with a Wii Console and a selection of DVD's for all the family to enjoy.
Outside
Head out into the half-acre garden to enjoy the country air or a few outdoor games.
The garden is a fantastic area for you and your guests, catching the evening a sunset from a private patio and pergola area that twinkles with fairy lights.
Twenty seconds from the back garden you can access the Old West River and take in the beautiful scenery Gravel Farm has to offer (with views to Stretham Church and Ely Cathedral).
Sleeping
Willow cottage sleeps 8-10 adults, all on ground level.
We have two luxurious master bedrooms with super king-sized beds each with their very own dressing room (that can also be used as a baby / toddler bedroom) and en suite with shower cubicle, with two further private bedrooms, again both with comfy super king-sized beds.
All beds are zip and link so can be made up into 4 super-kings or 8 singles or a mixture of the two depending on your requirements.
In addition to the bedrooms, we have added a comfy double loaf sofa bed to the TV room, which now doubles up as an extra bedroom should you need sleeping space for 10.
All bedrooms are complete with pocket sprung mattresses, furnished with deluxe linens, cushions and throws promising a blissful uninterrupted night’s sleep, making it even more tempting to enjoy an early night or a lazy morning in bed!
Bathing
The deluxe family bathroom features both a large bath and a walk-in shower. With the addition of the two en-suites, there shouldn't be any queues for the shower.
Complete with super soft towels, on heated towel rails in all bathrooms, for all guests.
