Approached by a gravel driveway, the cottage has a sun-trap courtyard with a large patio and shrub beds on the south side.  A second patio and lawn at the rear, which catches the evening sun, overlooks the stream and dingle.

Accomodation:-  Wifi internet access
The whole cottage is at ground level and so there are no stairs.  It has three bedrooms, all en-suite: the master bedroom has a king-size bed with superior en-suite featuring a spa bath with shower over, a toilet and vanity basin.

Guest Book 2009

Wow! Alen & I have stayed in over twenty Premier Cottages and without a doubt this is the best taking everything into consideration.  The personal service from Lynda & Norman, the location and last but not least the this beautiful cottage - superb.  Words cannot do it credit.
Emery Family, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Well Lynda & Norman, you deserve a pat on the back, the Old Bull Pen is just fantastic.  You have thought of everything, this has got to be best place in the country.
Randall Family, Lancs. 10.07.09

Our first time on the ‘Old Bull Pen’ and, as with their other cottages, Norman & Lynda have created a masterpiece, somehow introducing the ultra modern and supreme comfort, whilst retaining the character of the place (complete with bulls!).  This is luxury bordering on decadence and short of providing a butler, maid and cook, it is hard to imagine how one could rise higher.
Booth Family, Cumbria. 17.07.09

An excellent cottage, beautiful and comfortable and thoughtfully equipped.
Dear Family, Kent. 07.08.09

We’ve had a wonderful week.  Friendly welcome, superb accommodation, lovely countryside.  We’ll be back!
Stock Family, Herts. 11.09.09

Our 5th visit to Ashford Farm and the first stay at the Old Bull Pen: oh what luxury!
Faith Family, Warwickshire. 18.09.09

Lovely to be back in Ashford Catbonell again & the Old Bull Pen is real luxury.
Eales Party, Nottingham. 02.09.09

110% of our needs were met in a quiet and beautiful setting.  Thank you for all the thought and care invested.
V.Rigby, Middlesex. 09.09.09

Crompton family, Bucks. 02.04.10.

As the first people to stay here (in the Old Bull Pen) we are delighted to be back! One of the best cottages we have stayed in amongst the Premier collection. Thanks to Norman & Lynda for such a well appointed, comfortable cottage.

Hancock family, Devon. 28.05.10.

There are not enough superlatives to describe the Old Bull Pen, from the initial welcome to the quality of the fixtures and fittings. Everything perfect. I could happily live here all year!
Hughes family, London. 04.06.10.

Our second visit to the Old Bull Pen. Every need catered for – we will all be coming again next year. Lovely break.

The Old Bull Pen has been created with love, care and attention to detail. A supreme cottage down even to the welcoming pack. First time in the Old Bull Pen but a return visit to Ashford Farm Cottages. Loved the spa bath.
