The Blue House
Features
Sleeps 8 people
This spacious Victorian cottage is centrally located in Stanford’s Historic Core.
With two double bedrooms and a third bedroom featuring two sets of bunk beds, it’s ideal for two families sharing. The lounge has a large fireplace, and the country-style kitchen includes an eight-seater table, perfect for winter dinners and board games.
In summer, enjoy long lunches on the vine-covered stoep, overlooking a private garden with mature trees and space for a game of Boules. A short walk down the gravel road takes you to the river for paddling, birdwatching, or a stroll along the bank.
The cottage combines country charm with crisp white linen, comfortable couches, and Persian rugs.
