At the end of a busy day’s expedition, kick off your walking boots and hang up your coat in the welcoming entrance porchway before following the warmth of the roaring wood burner in the light-filled open-plan kitchen/diner. Featuring charming, contemporary country cottage décor as well as original exposed brickwork, this wonderfully social space echoes the cottage's rich heritage, as well as provides everything you need to cook and dine with loved ones. Featuring another roaring wood burner housed within and an exposed brickwork fireplace, the cosy lounge boasts a wonderfully welcoming ambience that invites tired travellers to unwind on one of the plush sofas. Featuring high vaulted ceilings and original wooden beams, the super-king-size bedroom and super-king-size zip-and-link bedroom (can be made up as a twin on request) upstairs provide a haven of tranquillity to retire to. The contemporary family bathroom on this level offers everything you need to wash off a long day exploring the local trails.
