On record as early as 1737 as a working malt house supplying malt to the local area, the property is full of character whilst benefiting from recent refurbishment. The focal point of the sitting room must be the inglenook fireplace and log burner for extra warmth after a busy day exploring. In warmer weather, guests can spend their evenings outside in the private courtyard garden or on the small lawn adjacent to the private gravelled parking area across the quiet road. There are three bedrooms, two double (with built-in wardrobes) and one single, ensuring that the cottage sleeps up to 5 guests in comfort. The bathroom upstairs has a bath, powerful “rainfall” shower, toilet, hand basin, large heated towel rail and illuminated mirror.

Private off-road parking is available for two vehicles on the gravelled area opposite the side entrance to the property (across the quiet single-track road).

Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement (maximum of 2) for a supplementary fee of £15 per dog. Please do not allow your dogs on the furniture or upstairs and do not leave them alone in the property at any time. Bookings with 3 dogs will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on the size/breeds of the dogs and the duration of your stay, please get in touch to ask and we can check with the owner for you. Sorry no cats in this property.

The Old Malthouse is strictly non-smoking.
