Wharf Cottage: Swimming lake, BBQ Hut, Games Room

Welcome to Wharf, a delightful and pet-friendly cottage that comfortably accommodates 2-3 guests in two beautifully appointed bedrooms. This enchanting cottage features a king-sized bedroom and a single room, boasting stunning views of both the courtyard with its picturesque lake and the serene Caldon Canal.

Upstairs, indulge in a rejuvenating experience with the spacious shower room, equipped with a high-pressure mains shower. Downstairs, unwind in the open-plan sitting and dining area that overlooks the canal and the cottage’s charming garden, perfect for relaxation or a BBQ session. Wharf Cottage is complete with a wood-burning stove and includes hot water and heating for a cosy stay.

The separate, well-equipped kitchen and additional downstairs WC ensure convenience and comfort during your stay. Wharf Cottage is ideal for small families, couples, or friends seeking a peaceful retreat and an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area.

Outside is a great space, with gardens for games, BBQs, relaxing & fresh air. There is also the fabulous BBQ shelter where you can sit around a fire pit and relax with family or friends. All this is set within 30 acres of ancient woodlands and flower rich meadows bursting with native birds, wildlife and our own Dexter cattle herd. The Cottages themselves all have woodland, lake or canal views, as well as log fires and exceptional kitchens and bathrooms. After a great night’s sleep in the peace and quiet, you can explore many of the local attractions and places of interest close to Foxtwood.

Alternatively, you can relax without moving. We have outdoor games, a trampoline, as well as table football, skittles, table tennis and more – something for children of all ages.
