The cottage is situated in the centre of douglas valley and attracts a lot of wildlife daily. it isn't uncommon to see deer wandering through the gardens and early morning expect to see an array of wildlife ranging from rabbits, hares, pheasants, ducks, barn owls nesting, crows around the gardens and on the buildings. Fantastic for bird watchers or even night time star gazing with minimal light pollution being away from neighbours and street lighting.
