With exposed beams, a beautiful fireplace and comfortable furnishings, it's the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. To one side, there's a fully-equipped kitchen and dining area with everything you'll need to whip up delicious meals or prepare picnics for days out exploring the island. To the other side, you'll find a cosy living space with a big comfy sofa and an armchair set in front of the wood burner so you can snuggle up in front of a film in the evenings. There's also a snug up on the mezzanine that overlooks the main living area which is the perfect spot to curl up with a book.
