The Shuteslades
1892 is no longer with usIf you were looking for cottages like The Shuteslades, how about trying these:
The Shuteslades is ideal for a large gathering. Just outside the village of Meeth, accessed through a farmyard and down a mile of steep farm track (take care with low suspension vehicles), you might wonder what is at the bottom. But from the moment of arrival, the neighbouring Owners, who have a smallholding with sheep, chickens, ducks and geese, will ensure you have a marvellous holiday. The unique house is very spacious, on three levels, with several sets of stairs. A self-contained annexe for three at one end (unavailable at the lower rent band) has its own patio and small pond. There is room for everyone in the kitchen/breakfast-room with its oil-fired Aga (available September to end-April), the dining-room and the sitting-room with its vaulted ceiling, leather sofas and wood-burner. On the lower ground floor are three bedrooms and doors onto the terrace with sauna, hot tub and a raised ornamental pond (take care with children). The Owners demonstrate use of the hot tub and sauna before facilities are available. Close to the Tarka Trail, there are lovely walks and a mini driving range and play-area in the grounds. There is also outside access to a large games-room and bike store just up the track. Although there are seven bedrooms (two with limited headroom) the house is only available for up to twelve people.
