This open plan area has a well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen, taking away the stress from cooking, and those romantic suppers can be enjoyed by candlelight at the circular dining table. On warmer evenings, sit outside and take in the sounds of nature from the cottage's private garden.
Through to the bedroom and another peaceful view can be enjoyed from a large, glass window/door which leads directly out on to the farmhouse courtyard.
The bedroom has a super-comfy bed and has beautiful, natural chestnut boarding which adorns one of the walls. There’s also a stunning, marble-clad en-suite bathroom with a large sink, plenty of lighting and complimentary toiletries.
