After exploring the surrounding area, retreat back to this pretty cottage for some well-deserved relaxation. Boasting traditional wooden beams, beautiful original fireplaces, exposed stonework and brickwork and some original artwork, this charming property is the ideal base for a break away with family or a group of friends. The kitchen boasts a traditional AGA, windows looking onto the garden and a breakfast table for four. A dining room has a decorative fireplace and farmhouse-style table and chairs with seating for six, while in the cosy living room there’s comfortable seating, a TV and a wood burner for toasty evenings. On the first floor, there are three beautiful bedrooms all decorated in a stripped-back, minimal style to ensure a restful stay.
