“The cottages were created to offer a truly refined, boutique-style retreat in a beautiful rural setting. As an interior designer, I saw the potential to transform what had been traditional rental properties for decades into something far more considered and special. Each cottage underwent a complete and meticulous renovation, with every element thoughtfully redesigned rather than simply updated.” Owner, Stephanie
She loves
“The peace and tranquility of the historic Cottesbrooke Estate. Surrounded by parkland and nature, the gorgeous open views change with the seasons. It’s a place where time naturally slows.”
We love
The wider location; just an hour from London, and close to loads of major road networks and 2 mainline train stations it’s ideal for family and friend meet-ups and weekend breaks.
You may not love
No pub in the village – but that’s why it’s so blissfully quiet. None of the beds in Figgy can be twinned.
