Maple House - sleeps 9 guests in 5 bedrooms
About
As you drive up to Maple House, you'll instantly feel the attention to detail that the owner has paid to the immediate surrounding, with its new planting and an immaculate driveway sweeping up to the house and the parking area. Beautiful, newly laid, dry stone walls surround the house, patio and garden where there are far-reaching views out over the surrounding Cotswold countryside. Maple House's two neighbouring properties - Poplar House (sleeps 8) and Rowan House (sleeps 8) - are also luxury holiday lets, and available to book via Bolthole Retreats. *Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date. Ground Floor Hallway: Step in through the front door into a light and bright long hallway with hooks for hanging coats and place for storing boots and shoes. Immediately to the left is the living room and to the right the cloakroom. Continue down the hall passed bureau and three long mirrors to the kitchen-dining area, the single bedroom, and the master en-suite bedroom. Stairs from the hallway lead to three more bedrooms and a family bathroom. An under-stair cupboard is a home to a highchair and stairgate. (The cot bed is in the walk-in wardrobe in the main downstairs bedroom.) Living Room: This light and bright, triple-aspect room is furnished with two three-seater sofas and three armchairs, comfortably seating nine guests around a cosy central rug. Occasional tables with reading lamps and a smart TV make this a lovely room for relaxing, reading or watching a film together. Bi-fold doors open out to the patio where there is seating, and a path wraps from there to the hot tub. Cloakroom: The handy downstairs W.C. has a toilet, hand basin, vanity unit with a mirror, and a heated towel rail. Kitchen-Dining Area: At the centre of the house is the beautiful, big, fully equipped kitchen and spacious dining area. The kitchen features a central island with two bar stools, a double oven, a double sink, a large fridge and freezer, dishwasher, coffee machine and all mod cons to either cook for yourself or have a caterer prepare for you. The dining area features a long rectangular Ercol-style table with two long benches and two chairs. Beside this area are French doors opening out to the side garden, and a door leading to the Utility Room. Utility Room: This super-handy room is kitted out with a washing machine, dryer, ironing facilities, and a sink. Note: Bedroom numbers go up in order of location, not in size order.
