Interior

Our aim is to provide guests with a place that feels like a home from home. The cottage has been sympathetically renovated, giving guests a cosy property that has country-style doors and exposed granite walls, whilst still including all the modern amenities you’d expect for a comfortable stay. We have used heritage Farrow & Ball paint throughout the cottage, and have furnished it with a mixture of antique pieces and modern soft furnishings.  Whether you are a couple or a family, the cottage is an ideal base.

The lounge/dining area

This has large windows looking out to the walled cottage garden, along with a comfortable 3 seater sofa and armchair - perfect for relaxing after a busy day out exploring. For indoor eating , there is an extendable dining table with four chairs.  For relaxing nights in, or rainy days, there is a TV (with 100+ channel freesat and internet streaming), DVD player with a selection of DVDs, MP3 player, a shelf with a ‘living library’ that offers a range of books for adults and children to browse, borrow, take and replace, and an antique dresser with a selection of board games and jigsaws for all the family
