There are two large parking areas at the rear and smaller one at the front, also an undercover area for bicycles is provided. The farmhouse is situated on a smallholding. It has a small lake and plenty of rugged walks. The front is grassed with a cobbled area and one small step into the hall. All the ground floor accommodation is on one level. Open stairs lead from the hall to the first floor where two of the rooms have a small step. The back door has three downward steps with a left-handed rail for assistance, leading onto an enclosed patio. Two outside lights provide enough illumination of the immediate enclosed garden. The spacious lounge with a wood burner (starter wood provided) has a beamed ceiling. TV, DVD, video and a private telephone with a courtesy box. All lights and electricity points are accessible. The doors are low in height but wide which is typical of this era. The kitchen/diner and a utility room are also well equipped. The bathroom has a shaver point.

A fire blanket and a fire extinguisher are also present.

Reviews

This is a beautiful property in a stunning location. You really don't have to drive anywhere as there are so many interesting walks on the doorstep. Stunning forest and river walks. The cottage is homely, well equipped and very comfortable. The hosts are kind and if you want information about the area they can point you to walks you may not know. Bedrooms are warm and beds comfortable. We slept like logs. The kitchen is a very good size and became our central place during the day. Water comes straight from the hills and is delicious. The log burner is a bonus and we spent cosy evenings in front of it with our three very tired dogs. This property has a lovely atmosphere and if you love walking, nature and spending time with your dog companions, this place is a must. We were sad to leave.
