Both cottages have a pretty, fenced garden; perfect for dining al fresco. Guests have use of a year-round hard tennis court and coarse fishing (including carp) on the picturesque and well-stocked 1 acre pond, only 100 yards away.

Previous visitors' comments about The Wainscott:

This property is a fantastic place to stay. We all loved the grounds: the lake and tennis court. It's set in such a tranquil area yet with easy access to the surrounding countryside. The cottage was really homely and clean. The cake on our arrival was very much appreciated!
Mr Kelly, Southampton, May 2011

It is difficult to say what we enjoyed most, as everything about the property exceeded our expectations! The location was beautiful and the cottage amenities were fantastic. The property owners were extremely friendly, without being intrusive, and were kind to provide extras above and beyond the remit. The Wainscott is perfectly equipped, with everything required for a self-catering stay. In summary, a beautiful cottage with suburb facilities in a stunning location.
Mr Williams, Porth, April 2011

Excellent fishing pond. Lovely garden for wildlife and the children. Good welcome and lovely local produce.
