Our property:
As you enter the cottage, there is a small hallway leading to an open plan living room/dining room. The dining table accommodates six people, and the living room features two generously sized sofas, an armchair, and a footrest. Additionally, the living room is equipped with a Smart TV, allowing guests to use their own details to log in and access various channels, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV, among others. The living room is enhanced by an electric fire and is well lit throughout.
Continuing beyond the dining room through to the back of the property, you'll find the kitchen, complete with cooking essentials such as pots and pans, tableware, glasses, and mugs. Complimentary tea and coffee are also provided for your stay. The kitchen features a 4-point induction hob, built-in extractor fan, dishwasher, ample worktop space, and a built-in fridge with a freezer box. One of the windows in the kitchen offers a view of the back garden, while another overlooks the driveway. The downstairs bathroom with a bath, handheld shower, and washing machine / tumble dryer cupboard can be accessed from either the kitchen or living room.
A stable door in the kitchen leads to the back garden, where you'll find a paved area with a 4-seat table and chairs, as well as an outdoor sofa. Cushions are available for the outdoor furniture. The cottage spans two floors, with the stairs conveniently located just off the living room. On the first floor, you'll find one bathroom and three bedrooms. The first bedroom features a king-sized bed, the second has twin beds, and the third includes a small double bed accessible on one side only. A bathroom with a shower and toilet is also located on this floor.
Free parking is available throughout the village, and one designated parking space can be found by driving up the driveway and parking outside the left-hand side garage.
