Garden Cottage at Ormidale Estate

Check in/ Checkout Times

Accommodation Description

Our most recent renovation, the Garden Cottage is available to book alongside any of the other houses if you need extra space, if a ground floor wheel chair compatible layout is required for any party member, or just as a lovely wee cottage for two people to holiday in on their own.

The ultra-flexible layout gives space for accommodation of “2 plus 7” in caravan or motorhome style, with alcove and fold down beds accounting for most of those...

Refurbished during 2010 to provide overflow accommodation for parties taking any of the other Ormidale houses, it sits in the same courtyard as The Mill House and the Old Barn. It is a lovely old stone cottage with a slate roof. The waxed oak floor throughout gives a warmth and a touch of authenticity; the bathroom is travertine tiled in a wet-room style and is the same finish and look as the rest of the estate.

Amenities Description

It is a reasonably luxurious and spacious two person cottage – regularly used as bridal or honeymoon suite - but you can squeeze a bigger party in. We have used the space to try and create as much flexibility as possible in the accommodation provided. With one proper bedroom sleeping three, plus convertible sitting room and two additional box-style bunk spaces (one off the bed-sitting room, and one just opposite the bathroom) you can accommodate 8 or 9 guests if you are happy all squeezing in on top of each other.

Maximum adult occupancy would usually be set at 4.

The shower-room sits in between the triple bedroom and the sitting room, with a bunk area opposite it. A second, screened off, double alcove bed lies off the sitting room, which also features a kitchen / dining area.

The whole space is on the same ground floor level, and is designed to be as accessible as possible for people of limited mobility.

About the area

Positioned just 5 metres from the Mill House and fewer than 10 from the Old Barn, the Garden Cottage works well as additional accommodation for either property, or for Ormidale House. It can also be booked independently, though it should be noted that the property does come without any real designated private garden space, and the Wifi reception is better outside than inside the Cottage itself as there is no dedicated router for the wee Cottage and you are picking up signal from our other houses or from your mobile network. It’s the best we can do, but we know it can be patchy (and we know some people rely on streaming for work – this is not the place for you!)

There’s acres of estate space to explore and enjoy and we are creating a wee terrace seating area with a pretty river view, but there’s not really a significant private, sheltered garden space.

The Garden Cottage is a charming, recently refurbished stone cottage offering flexible, ground-floor accommodation ideal for couples, small families, or guests needing accessible layout. Though perfect as a cosy two-person retreat, it can comfortably host up to four adults or, at a squeeze, larger groups using its mix of alcove, bunk, and fold-down beds. The cottage features a warm waxed oak floor, a travertine-tiled wet-room style bathroom, and an open-plan sitting, kitchen, and dining area. Positioned within the courtyard beside The Mill House and The Old Barn, it’s ideal as overflow accommodation, with estate grounds to enjoy and a peaceful riverside seating area nearby.
