The Space:

Please note that due to new restrictions set out by the local council, we can only accept new bookings for up to 6 guests at Oak Cottage.



Step into Oak Cottage through the inviting hallway/snug room, featuring a desk, cosy chairs, a log burner, a cloakroom, and a convenient downstairs toilet. From here, you’ll be led into the expansive open-plan living room and kitchen diner. Perfect for entertaining, this space offers ample seating, including two sofa beds that can each sleep two guests.



The charming brick and oak conservatory is a lovely spot to unwind, offering serene views of the open fields beyond – an ideal place to enjoy a hot drink and a good book.



On the ground floor, you’ll also find a utility room equipped with a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, ironing board, vacuum cleaner, and mop & bucket, in case you desire to do any cleaning during your stay.



Ascend the stunning oak staircase from the snug room to the first floor, where four beautifully appointed bedrooms await you.



The master bedroom is a true sanctuary, boasting an ensuite shower room, a standalone bathtub in the bedroom, and a private balcony with countryside views.



Bedroom 2, across the landing, has views of the front and side aspects of the house, and boasts a double bed and plenty of space to unwind.



Bedroom 3, opposite the master bedroom also has views of the front of the house. The bed in this room is a small double, although it’s a very comfy mattress! A firm favourite 😉



Bedroom 4 includes a small double bed and a secondary door connecting to the master bedroom as it was originally designed as a walk-in wardrobe.



The luxurious main bathroom features a two-person jacuzzi bathtub, a walk-in shower, toilet and dual sinks, all beautifully finished with slate tiling.



Venture up another flight of stairs to discover the attic space, divided into two separate bedrooms (bedrooms 5 & 6) with king-size beds that can be split into singles.

A window on either side provides charming views across the fields.



Please note that there is no partitioning wall bedroom these 2 rooms, only a bottle neck in the middle dividing them.

Although the attic is very large, the headroom is restricted, so these beds would be more suited to smaller people / children.



Back on the ground floor, cross over to the annex! The first thing you'll notice is the vibrant games room, complete with a 7ft pool table, foosball table, kitchenette, fridge, barstools, and a comfy armchair – perfect for a fun-filled evening.



Continue through the annex to find another lounge with a sofa and TV, ideal for extra relaxation with views of the neighbouring field.



Bedroom 7, located beyond this lounge, now offers a double bed, a private toilet, and views of the rear garden and surrounding fields.



Head on upstairs in the annex and you’ll find the final 2 bedrooms (bedrooms 8 & 9).

These 2 rooms have limited headroom too but they are more than capable of offering a cosy retreat away from the main house. Each of these 2 rooms has a single bed.



Between these 2 bedrooms you’ll find the charming little shower room. Complete with a toilet and some more limited headspace. It is perfectly functional and the shower in here is far too powerful for the size of the room!

If anything is missing and/or damaged, and we are not made aware, a fair figure to cover this will be deducted from the security deposit.



Oak Cottage is located near the flight path for Birmingham Airport, so please expect that there will be some noise from passing airplanes, however any disruption from flights will be minimal during the airports restricted night flying period (between 11:30pm and 6am).



There are also multiple working farms in the local area, so there may be farming smells in the air and noise from tractors and harvesters during certain periods of the year.
