We have completely renovated and restored our beloved cottage. It has taken 1 year, but we think you will agree It was worth it! The cottage can accommodate up to 6 people. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms (1 King Bed, 1 Double Bed, 2 Single Beds). One of the single beds in the twin room is a cool little raised hideaway bed! This nook is equipped with a TV, with Netflix + Prime Video to keep the little ones happy.

The bathroom features a large shower, delightful roll top bath, and handy anti-fog mirror. Downstairs there is a stylish log burner to keep you toasty. The cottage has full central heating.

There is a large 65’’ TV in the lounge with Netflix + Prime Video for watching your favourite movie in front of the fire. Additionally there is a TV in the dining room should you wish to catch up on the news with your morning coffee. The kitchen is well equipped with a Fridge/Freezer, Microwave, Toaster, Kettle, Nespresso Machine, Slow Cooker, Induction Hob and Oven. Why not spend an afternoon baking?

For those rainy days there is a huge library of books on the local area. We also have a lot of fiction/non-fiction books, and a great collection of board games. There’s nothing better than winning at Scrabble as you sip tea during a downpour!
