This property may appear rustic and traditional on the outside, but beneath the classic exterior is a contemporary and spacious retreat characterised by stylish decor and comfortable furnishing. Original features add to the overall charm, which you’ll notice from the moment you enter via the kitchen and take a seat with a glass of wine in hand. The open-plan kitchen/diner is bright with a wood burner and sofas to one side, ample dining space in the centre, and a generous kitchen with a central island to finish. Equipped with an electric oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave, Lavazza coffee machine and a fridge/freezer, you’ll have everything you need to prepare meals for your entire group.

Next, the snug room will prove irresistible to younger guests thanks to the beanbags, corner sofa and TV. At bedtime, you’ll have a choice of five bedrooms split between the upper levels of the property. You can reach the superb super-king-size with en-suite shower room and WC by following the stairs leading from the hallway next to the snug. This section of the cottage also features a double bedroom and a twin room alongside an excellent family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath, walk-in shower and WC. Back downstairs, the lounge has a set of stairs that lead up to the remaining bedrooms and a shower room with WC. Consisting of a double bedroom and an adjacent twin bedroom, you’ll be spoilt for choice of where to rest.
