The fitted kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances, including an oven, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and washer dryer. While Wi-Fi is provided, guests are advised that connectivity may be intermittent due to the rural location, encouraging them to unwind and disconnect from everyday life.
The property boasts a large garden with a patio and seating area, although it is not fully enclosed, so supervision of small children is necessary. Please note that pets and smoking are not permitted on the premises. Guests should also be aware that the cottage is served by a private water supply, and it is recommended to drink bottled water, with an initial supply provided.
