"What a stunning place to stay. We could not recommend this place enough. The décor, location, layout, facilities breakfast hamper, cleanliness are to such a high standard." - Ollie & Katherine
As you enter the cottage you are welcomed into a recently renovated state of the art kitchen, with all the mod cons you would expect from a home away from home; full sized double oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, microwave, and spacious breakfast bar that seats four. During winter months, guests will appreciate the underfloor heating, adding that extra level of cosy.
A double living room sits in the 400 year old section of the cottage. Lined with original wooden beams, open fireplaces and plush seating, this space is perfect for a relaxing evening in with a bottle of wine. To the back of the property is a stunning architecturally crafted extension, home to a modern shower room, spacious dining room and cosy snug with 65" TV and small double (3/4) sized sofa bed (suitable for 1 adult or 2 children).
Heading upstairs there is a family bathroom with free-standing bath tub and three bedrooms. The king-sized master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with shower. The second bedroom is a king, and the third is an en-suite with twin beds (or zip-linked to be a super king on request). Peek through the century-old windows to view unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside.
To the back of the cottage is a beautiful, secluded garden offering the perfect space for family and friends to relax. During warmer months, this is an ideal spot to unwind after a busy day of sightseeing or hiking through the local countryside. Whilst the children are off exploring, the adults can sit back, rustle up a delicious meal, and enjoy a glass or two. There is also a brand new tennis court with basketball hoop. Tennis rackets and balls are provided.
