The inviting space features comfortable sofas positioned around an open fire, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. A dedicated dining area in the corner provides a cozy setting for meals, while the adjacent galley kitchen, though compact, is well-equipped with modern amenities, ensuring guests can prepare delicious dishes during their stay.
The accommodation is located on the first floor, featuring two versatile zip and link super king bedrooms that can be configured as twins upon request.
