About Dove Cottage

Experience the calm and character of Stanford from this thoughtfully restored thatched roof cottage, superbly positioned in the centre of the village. Created with comfort and ease in mind, this welcoming home delivers an authentic country atmosphere while providing all the modern comforts required for a relaxed and enjoyable stay.

Self-Catering Accommodation

This charming thatched cottage showcases timeless appeal, combining traditional character with relaxed comfort and a distinctly rural feel. Its central village position allows guests to enjoy both peaceful surroundings and easy access to local amenities.

The cottage offers three inviting bedrooms and two bathrooms, comfortably suited to accommodate up to four guests. Each space has been carefully furnished to promote rest and relaxation, featuring quality linens, warm finishes, and subtle country-style details that enhance the overall sense of calm.

The living area forms the heart of the home and features an indoor fireplace, creating a cosy setting during cooler months. Evenings are best spent enjoying the warmth of the fire, a good glass of local wine, and the quiet rhythm of village life.

Outdoors, a delightful vine-covered verandah provides a shaded retreat for morning coffee or unwinding at sunset. Overlooking a neat lawn and compact garden, this area offers a tranquil space to pause and recharge.

The cottage also caters well for outdoor living, with dedicated dining and braai facilities that invite long, leisurely meals in the open air. It is an ideal setting to cook, dine, and enjoy the peaceful ambiance for which Stanford is so well known.

Situated within easy walking distance of village cafés, boutiques, and the river, the cottage combines practicality with classic village appeal. Guests can spend their days exploring nearby wine farms, relaxing at home, or venturing out to enjoy the natural surroundings.
