The Library

The library at Well Cottage is a space designed for both inspiration and stillness—a quiet retreat where comfort, culture, and countryside come together beautifully.

Lined with an impressive collection of literature, the room offers something for every reader, from timeless classics to contemporary novels and curious finds. Whether you’re diving into a well-worn favourite or discovering something new, this is a space that invites you to slow down and focus.

A spinet adds a touch of elegance, ready for a quiet melody or simply to be admired as part of the room’s refined charm. There’s also a writing desk positioned perfectly by the window, offering peaceful views over the back garden. It’s an inspiring spot to journal, read, or simply daydream with a cup of tea in hand.

For those who need to stay connected, the cottage is equipped with fast Wi-Fi, making this an ideal place to work remotely, catch up on emails, or even take a quiet Zoom call without disruption.

When the weather’s kind, throw open the door that leads directly into the garden, letting in birdsong and fresh country air. It’s the perfect way to blur the line between indoors and out, especially during the warmer months.
