The master bedroom boasts a luxurious super-king-size bed, a flat-screen TV, and a spacious en-suite shower room complete with a walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail, and WC.

Living Spaces Designed for Comfort

Step into the inviting sitting room, where exposed stone walls and a traditional woodburning stove create a warm and cosy atmosphere. Sink into the plush leather sofa and enjoy a relaxing evening in front of the Smart TV, or simply unwind with a good book as the flickering flames of the stove add a touch of magic to the room. The open-tread staircase leads to the first floor, where the bedrooms and bathroom are located, while small internal steps throughout the cottage add to its unique character – though guests are advised to take care when moving around.

The kitchen/diner is a chef’s delight, featuring an impressive electric range cooker with an electric hob, an American-style fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Gather around the round dining table to enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, prepared with fresh ingredients from the local area. The cottage also includes a convenient boot room, perfect for storing muddy boots and coats after a day of exploring the great outdoors.
