This gorgeous cottage has been lovingly decorated with a combination of farmhouse collections as well as contemporary art and designer fabrics. Combine this with the hills as a backdrop and being so close to nature and the outdoors it’s the perfect home to come back to after a day out exploring.

High Bank has a welcoming, cosy living room which has been tastefully decorated in pale calming tones and fabrics. Snuggle up on the comfortable sofas with a hot chocolate and a good film or just chat the evening away in front of the log burner. You will find a stylish, modern, open-plan kitchen/dining area, which is well-equipped to provide everything you will need for your stay. Meals can be enjoyed at the rustic pine dining table which has comfy seating, ensuring your mealtimes are a joy. Outside at the back of the cottage is an private patio, the ideal spot for you to sit and plan your day’s exploring over a delicious cup of coffee from the pod machine.

High Bank features two double bedrooms, a kingsize room, and a twin, so whether you’re planning a romantic escape or a family break, it’s ideal. Both bedrooms are elegantly designed in a country-chic style with sumptuous bedding and soft tones and come complete with spacious, modern en-suite bathrooms. As well as the cosy back garden patio, the spacious front garden has seating to provide a relaxing space for guests to chill out and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding area, overlooking the distinctive, humped hill. This hill roared forth from a volcano some 650 million years ago, and is now is a very popular spot for adventure seekers to explore the many trails. With a panoramic view at the top, it’s well worth the hike up, so just pack your water bottle!
