The cottage itself is approached via a farm track, leading to its enclosed gardens. Upon entering, visitors are greeted by an old stone porch, rich in history, where they can comfortably remove their boots and store outdoor gear. The interior is characterized by traditional stone floors and bespoke wooden cabinetry in the kitchen, which is equipped with modern appliances including an electric oven, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. A cozy lounge/diner features large sofas and a wood burner, perfect for relaxation after a day of exploration, while the dining area offers a large table for shared meals and games.
On the first floor, guests will find well-appointed sleeping arrangements, including a double room with garden views, a double room with access to a twin room, and a single room suitable for a child.
