The rustic luxury theme continues in the two well-appointed bedrooms, each situated at opposite ends of the cottage. Both rooms are furnished with king-size zip and link beds, which can be converted into two twin beds upon request, and feature sumptuous linens for a restful night’s sleep. Each bedroom boasts large picture windows and direct access to the garden through glazed doors. The spacious en suite bathrooms offer a freestanding bath with a Velux window for stargazing, a wet room-style shower, and a WC, along with locally sourced toiletries for a touch of indulgence.
Outside, the property features a generous south-facing lawned garden complete with an attractive stone patio and outdoor furniture, ideal for enjoying drinks while soaking in the natural surroundings.
