Bedroom one boasts an en-suite and is located on the ground floor, where guests will be sure to enjoy a good night’s sleep with its sumptuous king-size bed and cloud soft pillows. A modern free-standing bath adds a touch of decadence to this beautiful room.

A wonderful and respectful conversion of an historic building. The interiors (and exterior!) are wonderful- and the owners have thought of everything you might need. Very kind (and delicious) touches like home-made cakes, a cheese board in the fridge and butter, home-made bread and marmalade - and, was that home-made granola? Both bedrooms are equally spectacular. Honestly the best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in - thank you!

We absolutely loved this place! Beautifully restored, a great island in the kitchen to sit around and catch up over drinks and a beautiful welcome pack which so many stays are now deciding to go without! Great touches!!
