The cottage interior is designed with comfort and style in mind, featuring dark wooden floors, painted stone walls, and thick handwoven curtains that create a warm ambiance. A small dining area is perfect for enjoying meals prepared with local produce, while the handcrafted kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, and fridge/freezer.

Outside, guests can savor morning coffee or dine alfresco on their private patio, equipped with sun loungers, a parasol, and a dining table. The shared grounds feature an outdoor pool, available from April 30 to September 30, which is solar-heated during the warmer months of July and August.

Additionally, the owner manages a private animal rescue sanctuary on the property, although it is not open for public viewing. Guests can still enjoy the sight of a variety of exotic and farm animals roaming the fields, contributing to the sanctuary's mission, as the income from the holiday cottages supports the care and welfare of these animals.
