Carers Stay at Teddy Cottage
Centrally located in Oundle, a beautiful stone built market town. Teddy Cottage is a lovely period property a short walk from the marketplace. This two-bedroomed terraced property has a wonderful relaxing feel and has been lovingly decorated by our After Umbrage team with huge thanks to all those that have donated furniture.
Walking around the alleyways and paths of Oundle is a delight, with St Peter’s Church (with the tallest spire in Northamptonshire) to help guide you back to the central “conservation area”, with mostly listed buildings, many of which date from the seventeenth century.
There are also many walking, cycling, and kayaking opportunities to enjoy nearby and much local wildlife to spot, including the omnipresent red kites.
There is something to explore nearby for everyone whilst remaining a tranquil haven to stay.
