About this property

After parking outside, soak up the charming, beamed exterior of the holiday home before progressing inside to uncover a stylish living/dining room. Make your way over to the space's sitting area, where exposed brickwork and beams add a touch of character, and two velvet sofas entice you to lounge in front of the TV and glowing woodburning stove.

The utility is close by and is home to the fridge/freezer, as well as a handy washing machine, so you can keep your holiday wardrobe fresh during your stay. When the chef of the group has prepared a tasty dinner in the kitchen, savour it at the front room's charming dining table whilst you catch up on the day's adventures. After dinner, retreat back the living/dining room for a movie night, or if you'd prefer a quieter space, head upstairs to find the study.
