The property is bright and spacious with a combination of contemporary and traditional furnishings which give it a home-from-home feel. The lovely views from the lounge window are a reminder of your picturesque surroundings, while the electric fire and comfortable sofas make it a perfect space for everyone to relax and unwind. If you’re in the mood for some home-cooked food then head into the well-equipped kitchen/diner which has all you need, along with a dining table that will seat your guests. There is also a light and sunny conservatory which is a lovely place to sit with a drink and enjoy those countryside views. The three cosy bedrooms can be found on the first floor and all are decorated in a restful and understated style. Enjoy some al fresco drinks in the pretty garden and patio area, while the children and dogs have a roam.
