About the cottage

Originally an old Inn, the property was derelict and has been sympathetically restored between 2011 and 2013, resulting in a light, modern interior and retaining all the exterior charm and character.

The cottage has an ‘upside-down’ arrangement to make full use of it’s natural position tucked into the hillside. There is underfloor heating throughout the cottage which provides all year round comfort.

In colder weather there is a wood burning stove and lots of sledging opportunties.

 

 

 

Upstairs

The open plan arrangement combines a modern and fully equipped kitchen with a separate dining table. There is a kettle, toaster, electric induction hob and cooker, built-in microwave, dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge with ice box. There are dishwasher and washing machine tablets along with washing up liquid, soap and tea towels. On arrival you will find tea, coffee, sugar and milk as part of your welcome pack .

There is a comfortable lounge area with 3 seater fabric and 2 seater leather settees and coffee table. We have a wood burning stove and provide a basket of wood for your convenience. You can curl up and read a book or magazine or watch the flat screen TV with built in DVD player. Or plug in your own device to listen to your own music choice. We provide a selection of books, games  and DVD’s for your entertainment. A heat recovery fan is continously refreshing air within the cottage.

The dining area leads out onto the rear patio where there is a picnic bench for al fresco dining when the weather permits.
