With space for up to six guests, it’s a perfect base for walking, exploring or simply slowing down in peaceful surroundings.
The layout of the cottage is ideal for families or friends - it has three comfortable bedrooms, two rooms upstairs with King-size beds and one flexible room downstairs with two singles that can be zipped together to form a Super-king bed.
At the heart of the home is an open plan kitchen dining area, where you can cook together, linger over freshly ground coffee or gather for evening meals after a day outdoors.
The living room is the perfect spot to kick back and relax with a large plush sofa beside the wood burning stove & a vintage-style record player to enjoy your favourite records. Floor to ceiling windows and sliding doors flood the room with natural light and frame uninterrupted views of the rolling hills beyond. Step straight out onto the private decking to soak up the scenery – a tranquil escape in every season.
*Please note that the cottage is located near a working farm, so you may occasionally see agricultural vehicles in the area – part of the charm of countryside living. During snowy winter months, access to the cottage may require a suitable 4x4/AWD vehicle.
