Brewery Cottage, Billington

A spacious holiday cottage in Bedfordshire.

Brewery Cottage is a spacious holiday cottage in a beautiful part of Bedfordshire. The cottage is situated at Mead Open Farm in the village of Billington which is near the market town of Leighton Buzzard. The Heast family has run the farm for 50 years, and for the past ten years it has been run as a working farm that is open to the public daily. The farm exhibits a range of indoor and outdoor animals, and has outdoor climbing frames and a heated indoor play-barn that is well used in the winter months. Children are very welcome in Brewery Cottage and with the Open Farm on the cottage doorstep this makes an ideal setting for a family holiday (whilst staying at the cottage a free pass to the Open Farm is available).

Brewery Cottage is a comfortable, fully furnished and well-equipped semi-detached holiday cottage, geared for short lets. All linen and towels are provided.

This is a three bedroom property, with a ground floor twin, and upstairs, a double and a single. The single bedroom has a pull out bed that converts the room into a small twin which is ideal for children. A cot and a highchair can be provided upon request. There is a downstairs cloakroom, and upstairs a family bathroom and an en-suite to the master bedroom.

The kitchen/dining Room is well equipped with a cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. The room is open plan to the dining area, providing seating for six people, and through to the sitting room. The adjacent utility room houses a washing machine and tumble dryer.

The property has oil fired central heating and in the very spacious sitting area there is an open fireplace with a flame-effect gas fire. For your entertainment there is a radio, a television (with Freeview), a DVD player, a CD system and board games.

French doors lead from the sitting room to the patio area that overlooks 150ft of pretty, well-maintained, mature gardens. Off road parking is available for tenant`s use.

Brewery Cottage has recently been awarded 4 Stars by the Quality Tourism Assessment Scheme.

` We arrived home to Australia this morning after three weeks at Brewery Cottage. The owner, Sue Heast greeted us at the door to the cottage when we arrived and made us feel most welcome immediately by providing tea & coffee and basic breakfast ingredients and ensuring that the heating had warmed the entire house. We found the cottage spotlessly clean, very well appointed and most spacious for two. It would have been equally comfortable for 4-6 guests.

We had a minor concern with a toilet cistern which was fixed immediately and Sue was very helpful with some printing for our on-flights.

The cottage is in a peaceful setting and guests can have as little or as much exposure to the nearby open farm as they wish. I would recommend the cottage to local and overseas visitors as it is so well positioned to locations such as Leighton Buzzard, Bedford and Aylesbury. For us as overseas guests visiting relatives, it was an ideal place to provide privacy and reflection after these visits. The location close to main highways but away from heavy traffic is very convenient.

Thank you to the staff at Lets Unlimited for your assistance in making our booking, our stay was wonderful.` - Julie M.
