The blue tone gives it a sophisticated feel and with beautiful wooden beams throughout, it makes a fabulous place for a lovely, romantic getaway. Relax on the patio area with a BBQ on a warm day and enjoy the peaceful countryside that surrounds you, or have cozy nights in in front of the wood burner after cooking a delicious meal in the modern, fully equipped kitchen - it's a comfortable place to stay any time of year.

The cottage is conveniently located with all amenities such as shops, chemist, takeaways and a leisure centre within walking distance so you can enjoy a quiet stroll to the village while admiring the wonderful countryside views.
