Perfect for a group of friends or adventurers, the characterful, homely and stylish interior warmly welcomes you.

Everyone can gather together for a cosy end to the day and make the most of the beautiful duck egg coloured kitchen, centred by a table and chairs. Upstairs, discover three bedrooms; the master suite is spacious and charming, with its own shower cubicle, and there is another double bedroom; fabulous views from both these rooms look out across the calming and beautiful countryside.
