The cosy living/dining room is at the rear of the property and is a lovely space to gather for chats, board games, and to plan the next day's adventure. The lounge has plenty of natural light flooding in through the patio doors and plush seats that you can sink into at the end of a day exploring. In the evening, watch your favourite box set on the Smart TV. The dining area is conveniently located just outside the kitchen. Head upstairs to discover a stylish double bedroom with natural light from the Velux windows. Opposite the bedroom is a chic, contemporary bathroom boasting an attractive claw-foot bathtub.
Outside, admire the views from the enclosed decked area with a dining table and chairs. There are a couple of steps down into the lawned area of the garden, and a short 50 metre walk leads you to a carp lake shared with the guests staying at the other properties – if you have a fishing license and barbless hooks you will be allowed to fish here.
