The whole cottage is at ground level and so there are no stairs. It has three bedrooms, all en-suite: the master bedroom has a king-size bed with superior en suite featuring a spa bath with shower over, a toilet and vanity basin.
The large lounge with 49” TV has a woodburning stove and external french doors to the front and rear. Internal french doors lead to the kitchen/diner with a separate utility leading to the rear patio. Off the hall is a guest cloakroom with toilet and washbasin. All furniture is oak.

Bedroom 2, pictured above, has a double bed with en suite shower, toilet and washbasin. Bedroom 3 has twin beds, en suite same as bedroom 2. All bedrooms have flatscreen TVs.
A delightful stay in the Old Bull Pen. The Ashford Carbonell villagers are particularly friendly.

We all came on my mum’s recommendation and it did not fail to deliver us a restful week’s break. Beautiful area and good food everywhere we want. Accommodation is superb and beds very comfy. Loved Ludlow and its castle, plus Hampton Court Gardens were lovely. Don’t want to go home!!

Beautiful spot. Everything we could have wished for and more.

We had a wonderful time. Tom (aged 3) loved making daily tours of the Dingle and we enjoyed the sheep spotting. Old Bull Pen has been a real treat and a wonderful location for days out. Very luxurious and welcoming (so say we all).
