As you step through the blue front door of Otters Holt, you’ll enter a welcoming open-plan living space that blends charm and comfort. At the front of the room, two cosy sofas are gathered around a white-painted stone fireplace with a rustic wooden beam – perfect for curling up after a day of exploring. A smart TV and a selection of board games beneath the console offer entertainment for cosy nights in. From the front windows, enjoy views across the courtyard and towards the historic Abbey beyond.

Towards the back of the space, a dining table for four sits beside a compact yet fully equipped kitchen, featuring everything you need for relaxed home cooking. There’s an electric stove and oven, under-counter fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and high-quality Sage appliances including a coffee machine, kettle and toaster. White painted beams run throughout the space, adding a light and airy feel with a touch of rustic charm.

Tucked beneath the stairs, a storage cupboard houses useful extras including a bin, clothes airer, iron and ironing board, sweeping brush, and a high chair for little ones.

Climb the staircase and you’ll find a book-lined shelf and a full-length mirror on the landing. The first bedroom to the right has a single bed, a chest of drawers, and wall hooks with hangers. Overlooking the surrounding greenery, it’s a peaceful space made even more special by a unique otter lamp – a playful nod to the cottage’s name.

Next door, the twin bedroom features two single beds, a bedside table, and two wall-mounted lamps. The sloping attic-style ceiling is decorated with blue cloud-print wallpaper, giving the room an enchanting, sky-like feel. Clever custom-built storage wraps around the beams, with open shelves and hanging space designed to make the most of the room’s character. The twin room also enjoys leafy views.

The master bedroom at the front of the house features a comfortable double bed, two bedside tables with lamps, and the same calming wallpaper as the twin room. A bespoke open unit provides hanging space and shelving, while a Velux window offers a stunning view of the Abbey ruins – the perfect sight to wake up to each morning.

The family bathroom includes a bath with overhead shower, sink and toilet. The window here frames a lovely view of the Abbey.

Step outside to the front courtyard, where a table and two chairs provide an ideal spot for a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Guests at Otters Holt also have access to a shared communal garden with picnic benches and children’s play equipment, making this cottage a lovely escape for both couples and families alike.
