The mezzanine king-size bedroom is a standout feature of the cottage, boasting charming exposed beams and picturesque views of the surrounding garden and countryside. While the sloping ceiling adds to the room's character, guests should be mindful of the restricted head height in certain areas. The first floor also includes a well-appointed bathroom, equipped with a luxurious bath for soaking away the day’s adventures, as well as a handheld shower and WC, also with limited headroom.

Outside, the cottage's expansive garden offers a delightful space for relaxation and recreation. Guests can choose between two patios to soak up the sun or gather around the firepit for evening marshmallow toasting. The large lawn provides ample space for pets to roam freely, while off-road parking ensures easy access for vehicles. This idyllic escape is perfect for couples looking to unwind and immerse themselves in the stunning natural beauty of the North of England.
