Boasting medieval timber beams, pretty wooden windows and original floorboards, the homely atmosphere of this cottage beckons you to fire up the roaring wood burner in the cosy lounge/diner, unwind on the comfy leather sofas, enjoy the ultimate family games night gathered around the rustic dining table and cook up a storm with the delicious local produce you’ve collected in the contemporary farmhouse-style kitchen. When you can’t resist the call of bedtime any longer, climb the cottage staircase to find two charming bedrooms that both feature the same characterful exposed timber beams, rustic antique-style furniture and soothing neutral colour palette as downstairs that’ll send you into a peaceful sleep before tomorrow’s adventure. Soak up the fresh countryside air by dining alfresco on a fine summer’s evening in the quaint courtyard enclosed by pretty borders and mature hedges.
