Prepare family feasts in the beautifully presented kitchen, with granite surfaces and an electric Aga set in a stone chimney breast and a separate Aga companion cooker. After a filling meal, curl up beside the fire in the sitting area, using this room to recharge after a day of exploring the area. Head upstairs to find the three bedrooms, including the master bedroom with king-size bed and ample wardrobe space, along with a TV if you fancy a film before bed. The remaining bedrooms consist of a second king-size and twin which would appeal to children, serviced by a large bathroom with a freestanding bath and walk-in shower, so you can enjoy a relaxing soak in the evening and a refreshing shower in the morning.

We had a really good holiday yet again despite the weather - the cottage being extremely cosy and comfortable, and very much feeling like a home from home. As before, the kindness and consideration of Viv and Alex made the time at Bawbee very special. Both the property and the grounds in which it stands are simply wonderful (whatever the weather!).

The place was lovely and clean and comfortable (we really appreciated that around and under the beds was clean and free of spider webs, so many places forget these key areas). Great bathroom with a fantastic bath and shower. The grounds of the property were so well kept and cared for, we thoroughly enjoyed spotting the wildlife and enjoyed having the two different seating areas outside. The little additions and touches, with continued kindness meant a lot to us and we felt so at home and welcome. We miss the beautiful scent of honeysuckle. Thank you so much!
