About this cottage rental
The Old Reading Rooms - A unique, spacious, comfortable, detached 2 bedroomed cottage (sleeps 5) in a wonderful village with easy access to an array of fantastic and fascinating destinations including a host of historical and cultural hot spots! Surrounded by beautiful countryside you will love to explore!
Great cafe's, pubs, restaurants, an artisan bakery, an organic veg shop, small art galleries, florist, beauty salons, hairdressers, CO-OP all within easy walking distance.
The Old Reading Rooms - A Grade II listed property dating back to the 1500s. For some time it was used by the Linton Literary Society for young men of the village to meet, read papers and play billiards (the old cue housing can be seen in the lounge). Prior to that, it was The Old Coffee House.
Lovingly renovated using breathable wool insulation, acoustic fibreboard to insulate the old lathes and plaster, acoustic secondary glazing alongside the old sliding windows to ensure warmth and full sound insulation - to ensure up to date heat retention and leaving residents feeling completed cocooned from the world outside.

The Reading Room was a really lovely property, very well equipped. The property manager was always available. Would definitely book again

We truly enjoyed our short stay in Linton. This cottage was wonderful. We were greeted by beautiful flowers in the front! The cottage is nicely appointed with everything we needed. We appreciated the selection of teas! We also enjoyed reading the history of the ownership of the cottage, dating back to 1604. We enjoyed the coffee shop next door and The Dog and Duck down the street. The cottage was a perfect place to start our exploration of England. Thanks, Louise, for a lovely stay!

The Old Reading Rooms in Linton was a great stay. The pictures and description does not do it justice. It was larger than we expected. There is plenty of seating and different areas within the living room. I was slightly nervous about the parking, but we literally parked on the street in front of the cottage every day. The kitchen is quite large and well appointed. Being from America, we really appreciated the large bathroom with separate tub and shower as well as separate powder room downstairs. This home is very clean and the beds are very comfortable with soft linens and nice pillows. The village of Linton was a delightful surprise with wonderful pubs (with great vegetarian options!). We’d definitely stay here again, given the opportunity.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Reading rooms. Very comfortable with a great sized lounge and kitchen. A good central location and perfect for village ‘walkies’ for our dog. We would suggest that a chair in each bedroom would be a thoughtful touch. Thank you
