The accommodation includes three elegant en-suite bedrooms. On the ground floor, a double bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower provides easy access, while the first floor features two further doubles, each with their own beautifully tiled bathrooms. Crisp linens, tasteful wallpaper, and tranquil countryside views promise restful nights, accompanied by the gentle sounds of nature.
