Details
Spinners Welle is made up of two, connected holiday cottages creating a lovely detached countryside retreat surrounded by private gardens. The house is a combination of bright, modern and open plan living alongside the charming 300 year old thatched cottage, full of character and history. Perfect for gatherings of friends and family and with 2 kitchens and sitting rooms, you will have plenty of space to relax and enjoy the English countryside.
The property has a fascinating 300 year history including the origin of its name "Spinners Welle" and we have this story plus where to eat, visit and shop in the cottage folder.

The property is very close to Kin House event venue so makes a perfect stop over for guests attending weddings and functions there.
The Parking - Private, off road parking in the gravel driveway off a private road, suitable for several cars.
The Garden - a really good size, the gardens wrap around the whole house, private and enclosed with garden furniture, two patio areas, charcoal and gas BBQs (in the summer) and loungers.

On the ground floor are two further bedrooms - one is a small double which can be made up with either a king size bed or two small singles (when made up with 2 beds, the singles are a little smaller than standard- so great for smaller adults/teens/children - when fixed together they make a King sized bed)
The other bedroom on the ground floor is a cosy bunk room with two full size single beds. Also on this floor is the family shower room.
Along the corridor and into the 300 year old thatched part of the property - with original oak beams and packed full of history and character. There is a second newly fitted galley kitchen, a comfortable, cosy sitting room with historic fireplace with a stunning wood effect "Rais" gas fire.
