    All went well with finding it and booking in. The bed was wonderfully comfortable. The bathroom was good. It was good to have access to wifi. The cottage was warm, which we South Africans needed. We did one recommended walk, which was lovely.

    We loved the location in a beautiful village and close to a local pub. We enjoyed having self catering facilities and both the bed and sofa bed were very comfy. The hosts were incredibly helpful and even leant us some scales for luggage.

Property information

Hi! We would be delighted to welcome you to stay with us at Bay Tree Cottage! We have a selection of properties for you to choose from and, with different sizes & facilities, there is something for everyone! Our one-bed cottage,The Bottle Top, is Grade 2 listed and has all the modern-day luxuries combined with lots of traditional & quirky features. It is cosy and quaint and always a great hit with guests. Our other accommodation, Baker's Den, Weavers Retreat, The Foragers and Cedar Barn are all in a new barn conversion which was completed in 2017. In contrast, they are contemporary & modern but retain a traditional look with open beams & Northants stonework. We are lucky to live in a beautiful village with fantastic walks right from the doorstep. Guests can wake up to wonderful views over the fields & enjoy the silence of the countryside! It is a fantastic escape from the busy world, but with easy access to the M1, M40, Silverstone, HS2, trains & airports, we are not totally out of reach! We strive to make sure that everyone enjoys their stay, and are happy to answer questions or queries, or help with any extra requirements! Jenny & Will

Neighbourhood information

Bay Tree Cottage is located in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside, in the beautiful village of Farthingstone. It is really peaceful, with only the sheep to keep you awake at night! There is a wide range of activities on our doorstep to suit all speeds of life – from Llama treking to Formula 1! The local countryside also lends itself to many other activities such as walking, cycling, riding and golf. Or you can just sit and relax, read a book or paint a picture. There are lots of lovely pubs in the surrounding villages, some make a great destination for a walk with a reward of fabulous food and drink when you get there! Or if you fancy doing something more cultural, we are near to Cannons Ashby, Stowe Landscape Gardens, Warwick Castle and Bletchley Park. And for some retail therapy, take a visit to The Heart of The Shires Shopping Village, the Old Dairy Farm in Church Stowe or there is always Bicester Village. For towns to visit, you can take a trip to Birmingham, Leamington Spa or Oxford. We are always happy to give you a few suggestions too.
