Field Farm cottage, parts of which are over 300 years old, sits in a lovely setting surrounded by gardens with a large pond fed by a spring. Guests are most welcome to enjoy the garden. Bedrooms are small but inviting, with a sloping-ceilings in the Green room. We are a cottage so the bedrooms are not large and the beds are a standard double but I make them as comfortable as possible with feather and down duvets and pillows and with toppers on the mattresses. Breakfast in the kitchen is informal with guests eating together. When the fox hasn't had the chickens you will get our own free range eggs. You will still get local eggs & produce along with home made bread, jams and muesli. Rooms: 1 double with ensuite shower room and 1 double with separate bathroom for the guests sole use (no shower in this bathroom) For a few days away from it all there are pretty villages within just a few miles, Pangbourne, Whitchurch, Streatley and Goring with lovely walks along the Kennet tow path. The nearest pub is one mile away and though it is walkable there are no pavements and no street lighting. There are two National Trust properties which are worth a visit. Basildon Park and the Vine at Bramley. Directions: M4 Junction 12, take the A4 for Newbury. After 3 miles turn left at Spring Inn; on for 1 mile. Cottage is on the left 200 yds PAST the 2nd left hand turning on the left. Having turned into our yard you will see a converted barn on the left. We are the cottage on the right. There is plenty of free parking on the right.

my husband is a local farmer - semi retired! I manage the bed and breakfast and we love having guests to stay.

The cottage is in the small village of Sulhamstead with no amenities apart from The Spring Inn, a village pub/restaurant within a mile. A car will be needed to visit any of the local areas. There is a train station within 2 miles in Theale. the journey from Theale to Reading is approx 10 mins and to London, Paddington approx 35 minutes. There are some lovely villages to visit in the surrounding area. Pangbourne, Streatley and Goring on Thames.
