A quarry tiled floor and simple fitted units add to the country cottage feel of the accommodation.
The adjoining lounge boasts a wonderful log burner set within an impressive inglenook fireplace. Large comfortable armchairs and sofas surround a central coffee table sitting on a locally sourced oak floor.
