Malt House Cottage Description
Malt House Cottage, tucked away in a very quiet spot, is a classic period holiday cottage providing cosy, warm self catering accommodation within the heart of the market town of Newent. Formerly the stables for the Malt House, the cottage has a history dating back 200+ years and inside there are some examples of this with the original beams and wooden staircase still evident today. We felt a very welcoming ambience within the property, as you often have within such period properties, but the immaculate presentation made it feel special and unique. Of real appeal, however, is the stunning garden which has been created by the owner, the award winning gardener Julian Dowle, who has won many Gold Medals at the Chelsea Flower Show - a more truly 'English Country Garden' you will not find - we viewed it in full swing! All in all this is a delightful holiday cottage that we are confident you will enjoy at all times of the year. Excellent facilities are on your doorstep in the town, all of which are literally seconds away.ACCOMMODATIONEntrance from garden through to small lobby, with hooks for hanging and boots/ shoes, leading to kitchen.Kitchen, galley style, well equipped with 4 ring electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, washing machine and ample work surfaces.Living Room, a lovely spacious room opening out to the conservatory beyond, with sofa and additional chairs, gas 'flame effect' fire within fireplace, flatscreen TV with Freeview, plus DVD player and additional stereo.

It is a sweet, bustling town with many attractions, restuarants and pubs to choose from - all a short stroll from the cottage. The town is a short distance (and therefore a short drive) from The Royal Forest of Dean and The Cotswolds which, respectively, have excellent cycle paths and walks through the woods; and countless delightful villages, towns and attractions to choose from. Interestingly, Newent was once particularly known for its profusion of Spring daffodils which used to be picked and delivered to local hostpitals, although this has since stopped the local area still has swathes of daff's but these are more for 'general enjoyment' and therefore picking is generally not encouraged! Also of note, bizarrely, is that Newent hosts the annual Onion Fair which is exactly as it sounds but also includes an onion eating competition! Sounds hilarious...
