Moss Cottage Afternoon Tea in the Heart of the Northamptonshire Countryside

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Croughton, on the gentle edge of the Cotswolds, Moss Cottage is one of those rare places you almost want to keep to yourself… but simply can’t.

Step inside this enchanting 400-year-old cottage and you’ll find yourself welcomed into a beautiful, book-lined library – a cosy, character-filled space where time slows down and conversation flows easily. Whether you’re catching up with friends, celebrating something special, or simply pausing during a countryside escape, this is a setting designed for pure relaxation.

On cooler days, the soft crackle of the wood-burning stove adds to the charm, creating the perfect excuse to linger just a little longer.
