Inside, the cottage is thoughtfully designed for relaxation. The spacious open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring, complete with a cosy wood-burning stove to add warmth and ambiance. A door from this space leads to a small rear terrace, where you can enjoy your morning coffee or an evening drink while soaking in the surrounding farmland views.
