If you were looking for cottages like Birchenhayes, how about trying these:

Looking for the ultimate escape to the country, surrounded by open farmland and historic woodlands and the chance to immerse yourself in nature, then look no further than Birchenhayes. Tucked away at the end of a private drive, regularly used by the many pheasants, woodcock and other wildlife to take their daily stroll, this stunning barn conversion is waiting to welcome lucky guests to this tranquil, idyllic and most laid back retreat.

Perfect for larger families or a group celebration, there is oodles of space both inside and out for enjoying time together. The no expense spared, want for nothing kitchen is great for preparing holiday meals together but for those who believe that 'too many cooks spoil the broth', you can keep the chef entertained whilst perched at the breakfast-bar. Located just off the kitchen is one of the bedrooms and a shower-room, ideal for those who want a little more privacy. The sitting/dining-room, located on the first floor to take full advantage of the view with its large picture windows and Juliet balcony, invites you to indulge in celebration meals, snuggle up together to watch a holiday movie or relax on the swing chair with a good book. The other three bedrooms, one with an en suite, lead off from the sitting-room along with the most resplendent family bathroom with twin sinks, separate shower and a sparkling tin and copper bath.

The magic continues outside. The sunny terrace is set for al fresco dining, lounging in the sun or relaxing in the bubbling hot tub and there is many a quiet corner to kick back, unwind and simply marvel at the surroundings. The large lawned area will encourage family games or head off for an adventure around the grounds spotting the many bird and wildlife who make this place their home.

The friendly yet discreet owners, who live in a cottage in the grounds, are on hand to provide you with a warm welcome and any help you may need but then leave you to thoroughly enjoy this very special place.
