What do you think makes a stay at Cossington Park Cottage unique?
Park Cottage is a sturdy stone Victorian house previously known as Ethel’s Cottage, in memory of the former housekeeper who lived here. When my grandmother went to France to nurse the sick during the First World War, and sensed that she would not return, she said: “look after the house, Ethel”. Ethel did so until her death four decades later. The large light kitchen/dining/sitting room provides relaxed and contemporary living space. Glass double doors blur the lines between inside and out and give easy access to the decking outside, al fresco dining, barbecue and garden. There is a ground floor bedroom and wheelchair-accessible wet room.
