ABOUT US

Spring Cottage is approximately 120 years old, was first believed to have been built by church craftsmen. The carvings on the outside of the house and the hand carved staircase and ceiling in the hall still remain to this day.

In the 1950's our family moved here and it was a working farm up until the mid 1990's. For the last few years we have been welcoming guests into our home. The house is set in approximately 2 acres of land. We welcome guests to use our summerhouse and gardens as part of their relaxing stay.

The family has close ties with steam traction engines. We currently have a McLaren 4h.p Steam Tractor named "Bluebell" No. 1837 built in 1936 also a Garret 4h.p Steam Showmans Tractor named "Sapphire" No. 33380 built in 1918. Both are exibited at local steam shows and travel to and from them under their own steam..
