With its rustic beams and tiled floors throughout the ground floor, the open-plan living space exudes warmth and character. Relax by the wood burner in the cosy living area, complete with a Smart TV and a patio door leading to the enclosed garden. The well-equipped kitchen is perfect for whipping up delicious meals after a day of exploration. On the first floor, the bedroom, which leads off from the galleried dressing area, features a four-poster double bed and beams, which adds to the cottage’s timeless charm.

Outside, you can enjoy the serene surroundings with garden furniture and a BBQ – it is a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee or read a good book on a summer's evening.
