The small entrance hall leads off to the kitchen on the right and to the annex on the left. The kitchen is an extension off the main cottage with a high sloping ceiling and Velux windows. This well equipped kitchen provides a beautiful light and spacious place for guests to cook delicious meals. There is a fridge and freezer (freezer is in the annex), toaster, kettle, microwave, oven and dishwasher. Tea, coffee, sugar and basic condiments are supplied. Down the steps is a dining room with a breakfast area and a large table with space for everyone to sit and enjoy their meal.

Once everyone is fed, head through to the living room to continue the festivities. With its comfy sofas, bean bags and electric stove set in a stone fireplace this provides the perfect setting for a comfy evening of your choosing. You can enjoy the evening either watching the television (freeview), listening to the radio on the amazon echo speaker or playing board games which the cottage has a selection of.

The small double bedroom (also known as the snug) leads off the living room down 2 steps and is perfect for those who need ground floor accommodation but are able to manage the few steps the ground floor of the cottages has. This room can easily double as a quite space or reading room if there are not 10 guests staying at the cottage, we will leave the room made up with a sofa. You can request your preference when you book.
