Beautiful grounds
The Duckhouse has such a tranquil vibe. It’s surrounded by a beautiful pond and a large green area which is perfect for families to spend outdoor time. The inside of the cottage is adorable with a very cozy living area and a fully equipped kitchen. The cottage is not located near a village but there’s a wonderful cafe/market about a mile away. The duck house is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful English countryside.
