Ascending the wooden staircase to the upper level reveals a unique double bedroom nestled within the eaves of the dovecote. This circular room exudes character and includes an en suite shower and WC for added convenience. Outside, the open aspect courtyard provides a delightful space for relaxation, complete with seating where guests can savor their morning coffee while listening to the church bells on Sundays.
