“A very pleasant timber framed cottage, centuries old.”
Low ground floor ceilings but the 3 of us are under 5ft 6" anyway! Very peaceful for a Christmas stay, as ours was. It is situated on a very historic motorsport site dating back to 1905, even pre-dating Brooklands. We walked the hill climb on Christmas Eve, it was pretty steep on foot! It would be noisy on a hill climb day, though my interests are mainly in historic MGs and Morgan three wheelers, since I have one of each, a 1934 MG and a 1933 Morgan. The cottage is simply furnished, but well equipped. Sloping floors upstairs and some trip hazards, but provided one is wary, not a problem. I very much like old timber framed buildings finding them very fascinating, and this one has certainly had some modifications over the years. I even took an historic book on the hill climb with me, and I recommend anyone staying here to do a little research before arrival. My one comment about the bathroom, is that it might have been better to have had a conventional modern shower unit installed, rather than a mock older styled claw foot bath with low shower attachment, since such a bath may not be suitable for the more elderly. One thing didn't work...the DVD player, we even purchased replacement batteries on Christmas day, but it needs replacing...fortunately, we had a laptop with us, and discovering an HDMI cable in the TV table, meant that we could hook it up...and, we could subsequently watch our DVD..."Where Eagles Dare"! It wouldn't have been a hardship though not to have watched TV, of course...even in 1905, such things existed in no one's minds, radio and electric light being distant luxuries!
All in all, a very pleasant stay in a fascinating and sympathetically restored cottage, dedicated to Malcolm Campbell.
