    We loved the location in a beautiful village and close to a local pub. We enjoyed having self catering facilities and both the bed and sofa bed were very comfy. The hosts were incredibly helpful and even leant us some scales for luggage.

    Excellent location, wonderfully peaceful and quiet village. Showers were lovely and water temperature perfect. Outside seating area was a bonus and a very beautiful place to watch the sunset. Hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Property information

Hi! We would be delighted to welcome you to stay with us at Bay Tree Cottage! We have a selection of properties for you to choose from and, with different sizes & facilities, there is something for everyone! Our one-bed cottage,The Bottle Top, is Grade 2 listed and has all the modern-day luxuries combined with lots of traditional & quirky features. It is cosy and quaint and always a great hit with guests. Our other accommodation, Baker's Den, Weavers Retreat, The Foragers and Cedar Barn are all in a new barn conversion which was completed in 2017. In contrast, they are contemporary & modern but retain a traditional look with open beams & Northants stonework. We are lucky to live in a beautiful village with fantastic walks right from the doorstep. Guests can wake up to wonderful views over the fields & enjoy the silence of the countryside! It is a fantastic escape from the busy world, but with easy access to the M1, M40, Silverstone, HS2, trains & airports, we are not totally out of reach! We strive to make sure that everyone enjoys their stay, and are happy to answer questions or queries, or help with any extra requirements! Jenny & Will

Neighbourhood information

There is a wide range of activities on our doorstep to suit all speeds of life – from Llama treking to Formula 1!
