The stone farmhouse catches the morning sun across quiet Northamptonshire fields, wood pigeons calling from the boundary elms that give the place its name.
This is a working farm offering both traditional B&B rooms in the main house and a camping pod out in the grounds — ideal for couples after a rural stopover or families wanting to ease into camping with a proper roof overhead. Cosgrove sits on the Grand Union Canal where Northamptonshire meets Buckinghamshire, all lock-keeper's cottages and patient narrowboats, walkers following the towpath toward Milton Keynes or out into open country. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you've got one in tow.
Facilities aren't detailed, so expect farmhouse simplicity rather than holiday-park extras. The pod gives you your own space under the stars; the guest rooms offer the full cooked breakfast and a proper bed after a day's exploring. Campfires are a maybe — check when you arrive. It's a genuinely quiet, year-round spot with working-farm charm and none of the fuss.
