Superbly appointed throughout, this lovely cottage in Bedfordshire combines contemporary styling with period features including leaded windows and a Butler sink.
The large farmhouse kitchen with its central dining table is just the place to enjoy a sumptuous meal and talk about the day’s events, or if the weather turns a little cooler, settle down in front of the welcoming glow of the stove in the sitting room.

Nice little place in the countryside and convenient for the things that I wanted to see.
Really quiet given it's not that far from the A1 and railway line.
Clean and comfortable and pretty well equipped.
Had to fix the DVD player but it was only a strained power supply connection that needed a bit of fiddling.

We had a wonderfully relaxed time at the cottage. It came well-equiped with everything we needed for our week away visiting family.
The cottage owner, Ian introduced himself to us, and was a Top Bloke.
I would recommend anyone to stay at this venue.

We had a fabulous November week at Shortmead Cottage. The underfloor heating kept the cottage warm enough for us without the additional woodburning stove or electric fire. An excellent kitchen with great food storage , luxurious bathroom and extremely comfortable bed. Reliable WiFi. Charming hosts. We will return and would not hesitate to recommend.
