Entire Cottage in Picturesque Village

The Old Reading Rooms - A unique, spacious, comfortable, detached 2 bedroomed cottage (sleeps 5) in a wonderful village with easy access to an array of fantastic and fascinating destinations including a host of historical and cultural hot spots! Surrounded by beautiful countryside you will love to explore!

Great cafe's, pubs, restaurants, an artisan bakery, an organic veg shop, small art galleries, florist, beauty salons, hairdressers, CO-OP all within easy walking distance.

The Old Reading Rooms - A Grade II listed property dating back to the 1500s. For some time it was used by the Linton Literary Society for young men of the village to meet, read papers and play billiards (the old cue housing can be seen in the lounge). Prior to that, it was The Old Coffee House.

Lovingly renovated using breathable wool insulation, acoustic fibreboard to insulate the old lathes and plaster, acoustic secondary glazing alongside the old sliding windows to ensure warmth and full sound insulation - to ensure up to date heat retention and leaving residents feeling completed cocooned from the world outside.
