The front door opens to a small porch before you step inside the welcoming living room.
Furnished to the highest standard the comfortable sofa and relaxing armchairs are arranged around a cosy log burning stove and the TV.

To the rear of the cottage there is a lovely, bright, kitchen with shaker style cabinets, quality appliances and well equipped with everything you could need from preparing breakfast to having a Masterchef moment, complete with electric hob and double oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer drier, Tassimo coffee machine, blender and food mixer.
The bedrooms are on the first and the second floor and care should be taken on the narrow staircase, which some guests may find a little steep.
The bedroom on the first floor is a beautiful dual aspect room with a welcoming and comfortable double bed and across the landing there is a smart family shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC.
Continue up to the second floor and the owners have created a superb bedroom suite with king size bed (this can be made up as a twin beds if you prefer please specify when booking) and superb ensuite with compact bath with shower over, basin and WC.
To the side of the property there is a courtyard patio which is a real sun trap and offers the outdoor option when it comes to morning coffe or evening drinks.
With the archway to the rear courtyard the owners have added secure cycle brackets for guests to use to store mountain bikes and there is space also for a couple of canoes.
Please note- Our neighbours at the back have a right of way to access their property through our patio and gate.
They both run guest houses and are very happy to chat to visitors.
They have a collie dog which is always on the lead when it comes through.
They will announce themselves if your dog is loose as the collie is not always sure around other dogs.
