Pudding Cottage from The Dandelion Hideaway

Pudding Cottage

A charmingly designed, luxurious self-catering cottage sprinkled with some sophisticated styling and an English country home style which flows seamlessly throughout. The country inspired flavour with a twist of romance creates a luxury self-catering space to relax and be inspired.

Location

Pudding Cottage is part of a small exclusive courtyard development nestled on the edge of the historic conservation town of Market Bosworth in the sleepy village of Carlton. Carlton has a long tradition of farming, in fact the name of the village originally meant the land of ''the free peasants'' and the settlement was talked of in the Domesday Book. Market Bosworth is the bigger sister and Pudding is ideally located on the long old Roman road which takes you into the village centre of Market Bosworth.

Market Bosworth is steeped in history and is best known for the decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses fought on the 22nd August 1485, when Richard became the last King of England to die on the field of battle. The historic market place, at the centre of the town, is surrounded by interesting speciality shops, cafes and restaurants and hosts a monthly Farmers Market. There are many beautiful walks; most notable is the historical former parkland of Bosworth Hall, thirty five hectares of landscaped grassland with a lake, arboretum, wildflower meadow and woodland. The walk along the quaint gated road from Market Bosworth to the picturesque village of Sutton Cheney and the Hercules Revived, a wonderful honest English Country Inn, is highly recommended.

Living

For couples and families alike Pudding Cottage is a wonderfully relaxing blissful place, a real delight at any time of the year. The lounge is a beautiful light, tranquil room decorated with the timeless Kate Forman blue rose’s fabric and elegant French inspired furniture. With wonderfully luxurious and relaxing sofas and armchairs, this room is a genteel space.

A flat screen television and a blue-ray dvd player, a comprehensive library of film dvds, music cds and audio books, as well as a Ruark music system with integral iPod docking station, ensure indoor entertainment is ticked!

The local library of information is valuable and helps with planning trips out. A good selection of board games, card games and reading books are on hand also.

French doors open onto the garden with outdoor garden furniture, lounging armchairs, sofa and coffee table, perfect for drinks and catching the sun.

The open plan kitchen is fitted with cream high gloss units with a breakfast bar and farmhouse chairs. Integrated appliances include a four ring electric hob with extractor in canopy, double oven, a fridge and freezer, dishwasher and washing machine with condensing dryer.

Sleeping

A balustrade staircase rises from the reception hall to the first floor galleried landing. Opening off the galleried landing is a spacious kingside bedroom with a relaxing sofa and breakfast table and chairs. On the ground floor is a light, relaxing king-size bedroom which can be arranged as one king bed or two 3ft single beds.

Both bedrooms enjoy crisp cotton bedding on the finest quality beds with designer touches sprinkled throughout, making lazy mornings in bed all the more tempting.
