Enter the cottage by taking a few stone steps down to find yourselves in the immaculate hallway. Ponder on the bench here to remove your footwear and wipe down muddy paws. Amble on into the spacious, homely lounge/diner, with its eye-catching inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood burner. Pile up a few logs and then light a fire to cast a cosy glow right across the room. Take a seat on a plump sofa to catch up on each other’s news or tuck yourself into the window seat with your holiday novel. The beamed kitchen has a sleek, contrasting beamed ceiling and all the fittings and equipment you need for your self-catering. Whip up delicious dishes in here, then dine together at the table in the main room. Open the doors in the kitchen on summer days to bring in a fresh breeze. The kitchen leads to a family shower room. When you are ready to turn in for the night, climb the stairs to one of the sumptuous king-size bedrooms. Wake up to rural views in either relaxing room. Run yourself a long, hot bubble bath in the freestanding tub or take a refreshing shower in the family bathroom.
Step out into the glorious sunshine on fine mornings to have coffee and even breakfast outside in the enclosed patio. Sip a sundowner here too, while your family dog strolls about if they’re staying with you. Guests benefit from private parking for two cars, a space immediately outside the cottage and the other space across in the shared parking area.
