The kitchen is equipped with a cooker,fridge and all your every day essentials. The luxurious bath room has a monsoon shower, fluffy towels and eco toiletries. There is a private garden and decking.
The space
This 16th Century listed cottage is full of character. Upstairs has a distinctly crooked feel! We have shelves full of books and lots of vinyl which you can play on the music system in the living room or simply hook up to your blue tooth and play your own tunes. There is a smart TV with Netflix and Disney. Also WiFI.
