Forming part of the Lady Rothschild Dairy, Gainsborough House is one of three thatched cottages located in a pretty U shaped central courtyard on the Ashton Estate. This holiday house near Oundle is a lovely choice for extended families, friends, couples and keen walkers meeting up for a holiday or big birthday bash on a large country estate where there is an abundance of things to do. Use of the Green Room in the main house is a big draw for games of snooker, pool and bar skittles, adults only.

Gainsborough House has its 4 bedrooms on the ground floor and living areas upstairs. Open plan design and wood vaulted ceilings create a large sociable space for a lounge, kitchen and diner. The fully equipped kitchen and long dining table are perfect for creating and enjoying a family supper or celebration. Large Juliette balconies through large double doors at either end create a light space. Chill out in the relaxed seating area on luxury sofas after dinner.

The 4 bedrooms are configured as 2 Kings, 1 twin and 1 double. All are individually designed with a stunning colour palette. 2 of the bedrooms have en suite facilities. The family bathroom has a deluxe freestanding bath for a real treat.

Gainsborough House has shared use of a communal garden which includes a purpose built barbecue as well as use of a private Shepherd's Hut. Sit outside on warmer nights and listen out for owls hooting in the nearby woodland. The Ashton Estate includes plenty of opportunities for outdoor games, walking and cycling, and there's a  grade 2 listed walled garden to discover.
