Sansome House Cottage (cottage)

Home description

SPECIAL EARLYBIRD OFFER FOR JANUARY AND FEBRUARY: 5% OFF advertised rates, if booked by December 1st.

NEW YEAR WEEK IS STILL AVAILABLE (£850 all inclusive) A Four night stay over this period is possible and is £600. CHRISTMAS WEEK IS ALREADY BOOKED. PLEASE SEE UNDER RENTAL DETAILS.

Sansome House Cottage, in the courtyard of Sansome House, is in a very attractive peaceful setting on the edge of one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds. It was totally refurbished in 2006. It has its own small private garden reached by patio doors from the large sunny kitchen/dining room which is extremely well-equipped for a self-catering holiday cottage. So this is not so much a typical 'rental' cottage, more a home from home. It is ideal for a romantic break, a family holiday or just for friends wanting to relax together in comfortable surroundings.

The cottage is centrally heated but also boasts a open fireplace in the cosy and comfortable sitting room. There is both a shower room (with shower, basin and W.C.) and bathroom (with bath, basin and W.C.). The beds in the generously-sized bedrooms all have quality mattresses, electric blankets and cosy duvets. We feel this cottage combines the traditional with modern comforts and it is the sort of place we like to stay in ourselves -ultra clean and well-equipped. As long as I have them in the garden you will find freshly arranged flowers in nearly every room. Although I supply a few basics to start you off I don't spend 'your' money on exotic hampers or expensive toiletries and further keep costs down by not employing an agency for letting or in maintaining and managing it. It would cost at least 15% more per week if I did. The cottage is perfect as a base for exploring the wonderful countryside on the doorstep, by car, on foot, or by bike. We look forward to welcoming you and doing everything we can to make your stay a memorable one.

WALKERS!! If you wish to walk 'The Cotswold Way', by arrangement, I can come and pick you up at the end of your day to take you back to your car so you don't have to do a 'doubling back' walk. Please let me know when you book if you wish me to do this as there are few weeks/days of the year when I am not available.

The Central England / Cotswolds / Cheltenham / Gloucester region

The Cotswolds are a 50 mile long limestone escarpment, tilted up at its western edge and rolling into the green and wooded hills in the east. Shakespeare described it as a tract of "high wide hills and rough uneven ways". It extends from the area near Bristol and Bath in the south nearly to Stratford upon Avon in the north.

Here are just a few of the events within an hour's drive of the cottage in 2009 and 2010
Exhibitions and events at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham (NEC) all year round. (This is about 40 minutes drive). Trains run from Stratford upon Avon to Birmingham Moor Street making events such as medical conferences at the ICC easily accessible from the cottage whilst staying out of the hustle and bustle of Birmingham.

Shakespeare plays are performed by the RSC at Stratford throughout the year. There are Farmer's markets and Antique markets in the area year round.

Chipping Campden / Ilmington area

Ilmington lies beneath Windmill Hill, the last northern bastion of the Cotswolds. It has been designated as an "an area of outstanding natural beauty" (AONB). The village lies in the southernmost tip of Warwickshire, very close to the borders of three other counties - Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire. As it is not on any main roads it is a particularly 'rural' village, off the tourist trail but very near to some wonderful places, not least the gardens at Hidcote, 3 miles away.

Ilmington was originally known as Elmington, it is said because the village was once well planted with elm trees. Unfortunately, since the onset of Dutch Elm Disease in England there are now no English elms left in the village, but that is not to say that the village is not well endowed with mature and beautiful trees, particularly on the Lower and Upper Green.There are many footpaths throughout the village, winding between the houses and gardens and some of the honey-coloured stone houses and cottages can only be reached on foot. I have compiled a slide show from photographs I took on a walk around the village in May which you can see here:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/89883730@N00/sets/72157603641017516/show/

There is a fine manor house which opens its gardens to the public several times a year. The parish church of St Mary the Virgin lies at the centre of the village and is reached by footpaths between the houses and cottages. The church has a fine Norman tower and the pews and pulpit were carved by a well-known Yorkshire craftsman, Robert Thompson in the 1930's. He left his signature carved mice on many of the pieces. Many happy hours are spent by visitors trying to find all the mice! The unusual lantern-like structure by the south porch is an early 19th Century monument to members of the Sansom family, late of Sansome House and Farm as it was then.

Apart from Ilmington there are dozens of beautiful villages around; most of the houses and cottages, often centred around a village green or a village pond, are built from locally quarried Cotswold stone which glows golden in the sunshine.

A five minute drive from Ilmington is arguably the most famous garden in England at Hidcote Manor (National Trust) and over the road from it, another lovely garden, the privately owned Kiftsgate. Both are open from Easter to October. You can have afternoon tea at Kiftsgate and at Hidcote there is a National Trust Shop, plant centre and both a restaurant and a cafe.

Ilmington is 4 miles from the old wool market town of Chipping Campden which boasts a wealth of antique shops, ancient buildings, the old market place and is great if you are into cream teas! 4 miles in the other direction is the historic town of Shipston on Stour. This is a good old fashioned town with 'the butcher the baker, the candlestick maker' mix of shops plus two small supermarkets and two banks. It also has a fish and chip shop, a teashop, an Indian/Balti restaurant (bring your own alcohol!), and several good pubs for dining and drinking. Nearby Moreton in Marsh has a very big street market every Tuesday. There is a variety of eating places here. Stow on the Wold and Broadway are both within a 12 mile radius, Leamington Spa and Warwick, with its famous castle, 14 miles. Other castles to see in the area; Sudeley Castle at Winchcombe, Broughton Castle near Banbury and Kenilworth Castle ruins. National Trust houses abound and Blenheim Palace is under 30 minutes drive away.

This is Shakespeare Country - Charlecote Park, all the houses associated with Shakespeare, and the art gallery at Compton Verney are all within a 10 mile radius. Coughton Court ( a magnificent Tudor house associated with Guy Fawkes) is near Alcester. For all-round entertainment for all ages Stratford on Avon is only 15 minutes away. Stratford upon Avon offers the theatre (there are three but at the moment the main one is undergoing renovations so all the Shakepeare plays are being held in the Courtyard Theatre), boating, very good shopping, cinema and restaurants, plus varied attractions like a Butterfly Farm and the racecourse. You can wander through the gardens by the river, watch the boats coming through the locks on the canal, take a carriage ride or open topped bus to tour the town or visit the Leisure centre for its pool and gym. Apart from the theatres you will find street artists performing in the summer.

Exploring further afield
Oxford (33 miles) and Cheltenham are each only approx. 40 minutes by car. The station at Moreton in Marsh, 8 miles south, has frequent direct trains to Worcester (50 mins), Oxford (32 mins) and London Paddington (1 hour 20 mins). I frequently spend the day in London myself although the last train home is quite early (before 10 p.m.) so if you were planning a theatre visit, it would have to be a matinee. Bath and Stonehenge, Salisbury and Marlborough (my favourite Wiltshire market town, with prehistoric Avebury nearby) are all within 2 hours drive so easily doable in a day. I have had a family stay who 'did' all the castles of North Wales in a day although I think that is pushing it and they were home very late (!)- Shrewsbury, or Ross and Wye and mid-Wales are an easier goal.

There is so much to see and do in the area within a short drive, or even walk, that you'll wish you could stay longer. In the cottage you will find plenty of information on attractions in the area from wildlife parks through Roman remains, art galleries, historic houses and gardens to walking tours, cycling routes etc.

Ilmington has its own village tennis club with two all weather courts and visiting players are welcome. They also have an artificial wicket which seems to be very popular with the cricketers and a skateboard ramp in the playground. There is a public swimming pool three miles away. Brailes golf club, 7 miles from Ilmington, welcomes visiting players as do the many clubs in the Stratford area. There are riding stables in the area and cycles can be hired locally. - I can drive you to pick up. There are many marked cycling routes (flat as well as uphill) around Ilmington so the cottage can be used as a base for a cycling holiday and we keep cyclists' route maps in the cottage, for your use (as well as driving maps and walking routes). We also provide a cool bag, thermos and picnic rug to take out with you. Further away, Cirencester water park, offering many different water sports, is about 40 minutes drive.

How to get there

BY AIR

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The centrally heated cottage is furnished in small country house style with a mix of contemporary and antique furniture and pictures. Persian rugs lie on wooden floors downstairs and it is carpeted upstairs.

The kitchen is very attractive with an old pine country table and pretty painted dresser and is equipped as a home from home. It also has a small TV and video player.

The sitting room, with open log fire, has two large sofas and a widescreen TV with the extra free channels (but not Sky!). If you want to curl up with a good book in front of the fire, extra logs are available from the village shop . You can order from tesco.com and get groceries delivered to your door ready for your arrival (I will put them in the fridge or freezer for you), or wander around to the excellent village shop which is well stocked with most of the things you might need. In the summer you can relax in the small cottage garden and cook your meals on the barbecue. There is a wide selection of books on the bookshelves as well as some DVDs, (hire shop is in Stratford for more) CDs, games and puzzles for rainy days . There is also a table tennis table in the adjacent garage with bats and balls provided.

The principal bedroom has a TV and small en suite dressing room with basin. The bathroom upstairs is not en suite but lies between the two bedrooms. It does not have a shower. The shower room is downstairs, off the hall. The bed is king-sized. All beds have electric under blankets for the winter months.

We have equipped this cottage so it is like being a house guest where the owners have gone away and left everything ready for you. Although of course a self-catering cottage means you provide your own food and toiletries you will find small amounts of store cupboard basics( salt sugar, tea etc), shower gel in the shower etc. so you don't have to remember to pack initial supplies of things like loo paper and dishwasher powder - you will find 'starter' supplies already here to save you dashing out the moment you arrive but we just ask you to replace anything that you happen to finish. Every effort has been made to make it a really cosy comfortable and relaxing experience. When you arrive you will be greeted by us, the owners and will find a tea tray laid ready with home made biscuits. There is home made bread and jam also. If you are travelling from afar I can do a small amount of fresh food shopping for you with advance notice. A bottle of wine is left for your dinner and a small box of logs for your first fire - further logs may be purchased locally. The owners are available with help and advice, should you need it, during your stay.

The internet access is wi-fi Broadband so you need a wireless card in your computer to use this. Please note that there is no computer in the cottage so you need your own! There is no landline telephone in the cottage but I have a mobile phone which I can lend you for emergencies.

Further details outdoors:
This traditional stone-built cottage, converted from 250 year old farm buildings, is hidden away in the courtyard of Sansome House with its own small secluded garden and the situation is very quiet and peaceful although the bird song can be deafening in the spring! The garden of Sansome House has a long term resident - a pheasant sheltering from the local shoots; he leaves me to explore the 'safe' countryside in the summer and I am currently anxiously awaiting his return...so I can't promise that you will see him but there is a large variety of resident small birds including a green woodpecker, a grey squirrel (if it is not hibernation season) and badgers frequent us at dead of night to dig up our lawn for earthworms..

The hill above the village is the highest point in Warwickshire and there is wonderful walking country all around, the whole area being criss crossed with walking and bridle paths; you can wander through open fields, along escarpments and through wooded areas. You can start your walking right across the road from the cottage in our fields. Two notable trails are nearby: The Centenary Way which connects with the Heart of England way at both ends, starts a few miles away at Upper Quinton and runs through Ilmington (Kingsbury Water Park to Upper Quinton - 98 miles if you feel like a long walk!) and The Cotswold Way starts at Chipping Campden 4 miles from Ilmington and runs to Bath.

In the village there is a well stocked shop , a beautiful church and two good dining pubs, both with gardens - The Red Lion and The Howard Arms. There are other good pubs in the villages around. There is a Sports Club which has tennis courts (all weather surface) on which visitors can play, an artificial wicket and a skate board ramp. All of this within 3-4 mins walk of the cottage. Just 3 miles away, you can swim and work out at an excellent leisure centre. It is also wonderful cycling country with many marked routes and you can avoid hill riding if you want a flat route. Maps are available for borrowing.

Further details

Our terms and conditions (the Agreement) will be emailed to you for signature when you confirm the booking. For this, please supply your full name and address and a landline number please. A deposit is payable on booking, (£100 for a bookings of a week or less) with the balance 8 weeks in advance of arrival. THIS IS A NON-SMOKING COTTAGE. That means no smokers AT ALL.

AND.... I have a second home, a large one-bedroom apartment in Dublin that I am now making available for occasional holiday lets. See my other listing, ( Ailesbury Road, Listing number 45086) on this site for details.

Conditions

Regrettably, although I do not allow indoor animals in the cottage because of the allergy problems of many of our guests, you are welcome to bring outdoor pets, such as rabbits, as we have ample room in our garden for hutches or runs. Please enquire if you would like to do this.

This is a non-smoking cottage for the comfort of all our future guests. I am afraid this even excludes smokers who smoke only outside as the smell on their clothes lingers and I sometimes don't have time (it can take several days of open windows and washing of cushions and covers) between lets to completely get rid of smells in wardrobes etc. Reluctantly, I must now say, if there is a smoker in your party, this is not the place for you!

There is quite a steep staircase which we feel is unsuitable for toddlers or the infirm. All well behaved children are welcome but this is quite a 'grown up' cottage with cream furnishings and pale carpets and if your children are at the sticky fingers and spilt drinks stage then you might feel more comfortable elsewhere but this is not to say we are anti-children - quite the reverse, as long as they are well trained!

NB: Prices may be subject to change at the advertiser's discretion.

NOTES ON TARIFFS DISPLAYED IN THE CHART ABOVE

Christmas week is already booked. NEW YEAR WEEK can start on 30th or 31st DECEMBER and is £850 for the week. A four night stay at this time is £590.

NOTE ON LENGTH OF STAYS and START DATES:

SHORT BREAKS and MINIMUM STAYS

Three night breaks are Friday to Monday, four night mid-week breaks Monday to Friday not usually available in high season periods but if I have gaps very close to the time then I do consider it so it is worth asking.

* In Cheltenham Festival week (which takes place 15th to 19th March) mid-week nights are charged at the weekend rate of £135/night with a minimum 3 night stay (normally four, mid-week).

**Out of high season, (usually up to nearly the end of May and from mid-September), normal booking days are Monday for a mid-week break of Monday to Friday and Friday to Monday for a weekend stay. Of course you are welcome to stay only two nights at the weekend but the price is as for three nights. Similarly, you can stay 3 nights mid-week but the price is as for four. In the high season (last week of May, June, July, August into early September), weekly bookings of Saturday to Saturday are the norm but we can sometimes be flexible on this. Mid and low season weeks generally run from Friday to Friday or Monday to Monday so I can jigsaw in the short breaks. See note on 5 night stays below!

Bank holidays, if available as a short break, are usually based on 3 or 4 nights (if available) at the weekend rate for that time of year - Saturday to Tuesday or Friday to Tuesday. These are usually not bookable until 10 days in advance of the Bank Holiday.

5 NIGHT STAYS ARE THE SAME PRICE AS A WEEK because this upsets the balance of normal start dates making it less easy to fill odd spaces. If you are staying over a week then the extra days are are pro rata, not the more expensive short stay rates and the departure day does not have to be a set day of the week.

SPECIAL NOTES ON PARTICULAR TIMES OF THE YEAR:

^^I do not usually book short stays more than 10 days in advance, from May 22nd through the months of June, July and August to early September, as weekly stays take priority.

START DAYS FOR WEEKLY STAYS:

I can sometimes be flexible on start days but it is usually Monday or Friday in low season and Saturday to Saturday from about end May to September. However the week of DECEMBER 12TH TO 19th DECEMBER is available as a Saturday to Saturday let if that suits you better than Friday to Friday.

PLEASE ENQUIRE ABOUT METHOD OF PAYMENT IF YOU ARE FROM ABROAD. FOR THOSE IN GREAT BRITAIN, EITHER CHEQUE OR BANK TO BANK TRANSFER PLEASE.
