The Twin Room at Well Cottage under the eaves, two single beds either side of a shuttered window with dark oak beams overhead and the pine dresser to one side

The Twin Room

Two single beds tucked under the rafters, with a sailboat on the dresser and the garden through the window.

Bedroom Three

A room under the eaves, made for sharing

Climb the old stairs to the top of the cottage and this is the room that waits for you. The roofline dips low and the great oak beams run right overhead, dark against the white lime plaster, close enough that the children will want to reach up and touch them.

Two single beds sit either side, dressed in soft ochre and oatmeal, with a deep casement window between them that fills the room with gentle morning light.

A little model sailboat, Meteorite lettered in gold along her black hull, keeps watch with her sails up and ready.

Dressed in ochre

A crinkled ochre spread with a tasselled corner, folded back over a soft waffle blanket — warm against the cool blue carpet.

Endlessly adaptable

Two singles, however the family falls

There's a low Windsor chair by the window where you can sit and pull the pine shutters back, and a deep sill that's just the right height for a bedtime story. It's the room our younger guests always claim first.

Two singles make it endlessly adaptable: perfect for children sharing, for two friends who'd rather not top-and-tail, or for an older child who likes a room of their own.

In the detail

A fringed oatmeal cushion resting on washed ochre linen — the kind of soft, lived-in layering that makes the room feel made up just for you.

Against one wall

The pine dresser, with the sailboat on top and a framed Cotswold scene hung above — somewhere to unpack and settle in for the week.

The exposed oak beams of the Twin Room running across the sloping plastered ceiling above the window and dresser
Overhead

Rough oak beams cross the sloping plaster ceiling, low enough to feel close — the bones of the old cottage on quiet display.

The enamel number fifteen plate fixed to the panelled wooden door of the Twin Room
At the door

A little enamel 15 on the plank door — one of those small touches that gives each room its own quiet character.

Up at the top of the house

Part of the house, and apart from it

Open the heavy plank door and the room runs the length of the eaves, a framed Cotswold scene above the dresser and the sailboat catching the light from the window.

Close enough to the other bedrooms to feel part of the house, far enough up the stairs to be properly its own. Luxury linen and towels laid out fresh, and the garden the only thing to see through the glass. It's quiet up here, with nothing but birdsong and the rustle of the trees beyond the wall to wake you.
