Finest Retreats | Chocolate Box Cottage

Picture-perfect Chocolate Box Cottage, a charming and characterful three-bedroom cottage nestled away in the traditional village of Roxton, with easy access to Milton Keynes.

Recently refurbished for October 2023, the idyllic cottage can sleep up to six guests blending original features with modern comforts. Step into the cosy living room showcasing traditional exposed beams around the traditional feature fireplace, with warming electric fire. Guests can enjoy plush seating with Smart TV and Wi-Fi included during your stay, creating the perfect space to relax and unwind. The well-equipped kitchen provides all the amenities you needed to prepare delicious meals, including hob, oven, Dolce Gusto coffee machine, refrigerator, and dining area.

With three spacious bedrooms in this home, you'll find the first bedroom on the ground floor, a delightful king-size room. Head up the original cottage stairs to bedroom two, a double room with quirky hatch access to the third bedroom with two single beds. Please note this room is ideal for children and can only be accessed via the hatch in bedroom two, which may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility or taller guests. The property has one modern ground floor family bathroom with a large, luxurious shower, basin, and WC. Plus, an additional utility room ideal for keeping muddy walking boots!

The large patio and lawned wrap around garden provide a picturesque setting to start your day with a morning cup of coffee or unwind in the evening with a glass of wine.

The countryside surrounding Roxton is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Discover scenic walking trails, ideal for both casual strolls and more challenging hikes. You can also enjoy cycling routes that take you through the picturesque landscapes and offer breath-taking views. Just a short distance from the cottage, Roxton Abbey is a magnificent country estate with beautifully manicured gardens.

We stayed here whilst visiting family in the area and it was the perfect base for our family.
It’s a pleasant village and the cottage has unique old cottage feel but with modern amenities. Thanks for our stay!

Quirky Cottage
Overall a lovely quirky property. We would stay here again. We did have an issue with the toilet but the company arranged for it to be remedied on the same day. The two bottles of wine which were in the fridge when we arrived was a lovely surprise. As somebody else has commented, the kitchen could do with being equipped with a few more utensils. We hired the cottage for ten days so having a washing machine there would have been nice. Also we could have done with a few more instructions in the welcome book, regarding were the switch for the cooker was, how to get heat from the fire in the living room and we never did manage to get live television.

Enjoyable stay in a pretty location.
Location was excellent in a lovely quiet village in a charming sizeable cottage. Kitchen & bathroom very modern and clean. Attention to detail could have been better. We could not use the garden as was overgrown with weeds and looked neglected. No outside furniture to sit outside on as it was a glorious morning. Main bedroom bedsheet had a large visible stain & all bedding could have been replaced as seemed abit tired and pillows very flat. Cobwebs visibly present, the toilet roll holder was broken and a few blinds could not be closed due to faulty mechanisms. Overall a nice stay in a charming cottage but a shame about the mentioned details which should have been addressed given the 6 hour changeover time between stays.
