Fireworks are not allowed in the garden/grounds of this property.. Church Cottage is a quintessentially English, period detached cottage nestling by the village church, with the River Nene flowing at the bottom of the garden and views of rolling fields. Parts of the original cottage dates back to the 17th or 18th century, and it was historically owned by the village church. Church Cottage has been owned by the family since 1950 by the current owners’ grandmother. She unexpectedly bought it at auction, as the beautiful spot had fond memories for her, as she and her husband had courted at the boathouse next door. Today it is owned by two brothers who have very fond memories of staying at their grandmother’s house, and they have fully refurbished the cottage to a very high standard whilst retaining much of its original character. They have thought of everything to provide guests with a warm welcome and a wonderful and memorable stay.
The cottage is the perfect place to get together with friends and family to enjoy time together in a peaceful and beautiful setting. A fair amount of the downstairs is partially or fully accessible to those with limited mobility or those using smaller wheelchairs. The master bedroom is located on the first floor with a bathroom at the foot of the stairs. The other two bedrooms are located on the ground floor, along with a wet room, garden room, games room, a very well-equipped kitchen, and an open plan living and dining room boasting an open fire for those colder evenings.
Church Cottage is conveniently located in the historic village of Denford in Northamptonshire, and is easily accessible to many places. The area enjoys excellent access to walking and cycling routes, as well as fishing, sailing and canoeing, sightseeing and children’s activities. The small market town of Thrapston is just over a mile away, where you will find a selection of cafés, restaurants, takeaways, a post office, banks, shops, hair and beauty salons and pubs, as well as the Nene Leisure Centre with swimming pool, gym, crèche and sauna/steam rooms. Fun for all the family can be found at Wickstead Park, just under 10 miles away, which is a charming family theme park dating back to the 1920’s. Northamptonshire boasts many historic and stately homes including Althorpe, Princess Diana’s ancestral home, Castle Ashby, Sulgrave Manor, Rockingham Castle and Lyvedon near Oundle. Silverstone Racetrack, where the British Grand Prix is held, is 35 miles away, and the historic university cities of Oxford and Cambridge are easily accessible. Shop 1 mile, pub 250 yards.

Elaine, I and Buster the dog enjoyed the week in spite of the weather, which was unusually subject to torrential rain. However, the week was good as the cottage was cosy and well equipped, great location with views over the river and meadows. Our second time here and we hope to visit again; friendly residents nearby.

The cottage was thoughtfully equipped.
The cottage was thoughtfully equipped. High points for the accommodation were the comfortable beds, high power showers and well equipped kitchen. The orangery is a lovely space and the garden leading down to the river is very picturesque. The local information was helpful although some of it was out of date. The furniture in the sitting room was very uncomfortable. I struggle with very low furniture because of my arthritic knees and would have loved at least one chair that wasn’t very low. A large group would get the most value for money. It was quite pricey for a small party in the school holidays. Overall we had a good stay and I would recommend the cottage.
Simply superb. The Owners really have thought of everything for all age groups and their pet dogs. Extremely comfortable and situated on the River Nene Church Cottage is unlikely to be bettered for us.
