After a day of exploring local attractions, the lounge with its ceiling beams and ornamental original stove, is the perfect place to relax in. The adjoining kitchen, equipped with all the essentials for a week away, overlooks the pretty walled garden at the rear, where you can enjoy a touch of alfresco dining amongst the pretty cottage style planting. Arranged over three floors, stairs lead from the living area to the first floor, offering a double bed and bathroom, whilst the second-floor houses a twin bedroom.
