Head through the stable door and into the country cottage kitchen, which is well-equipped for rustling up a hearty breakfast before a fun-filled day of explorations. The kitchen links to the open-plan living room and dining area where you can sit and discuss the memories you’ve made in front of the large wood-burner or chill out and watch a movie on the Smart TV.
