Owners Vicky Stothard and Chris Saynor have invested heart and soul in creating this pair of boutique retreats with everything you need to find rest and relaxation and do things your own way, in your own time. Located in the lovely village of Cottered in rural Hertfordshire Bethnal and Bec are newly-built and custom-designed to offer individuals and couples fresh air, comfort and seclusion.
You make the rules
Catch up with your loved one, daydream in the bath, stargaze from the hot tub, eat yourself silly from the pantry in your pyjamas – whatever you say, goes.
Take your time
Set in the village of Cottered in the heart of rural Hertfordshire – a short jaunt from London, Cambridge, the A1, M11 and M25 – grab yourself some quality time.
Kindle a spark
Enchanting enough for a wedding night or to remind you why you first fell in love.
Rediscover life’s real luxuries
The wi-fi’s working, but you can pretend to be off-grid.
Let go and love the small stuff.
Reasons to stay in
Plunder the pantry, soak up the romance
<

Luxuriate in the knowledge that your every need is catered for – from a hot tub soak under the stars to a blissful sleep in sumptuous linens, all-you-can-watch Netflix in your pyjamas to boundless peace and quiet. The champagne’s on ice – are you in?
Have it your own way
We’ll stock the pantry and fill the wine cellar with quality choices, or you can bring your favourite ingredients – so if you love to cook, the only limit is your imagination.
Relax restore reconnect
Enjoy the space of your own courtyard garden. Take time out in the hot tub. Breakfast as you like it. Sleep by day and watch Netflix all night.
Unplug and reconnect.
