The cottage is consistently described as well-equipped, with everything needed for a stay. The presence of a utility room for drying wet gear and various seating areas are noted as positives.

Accommodation
As you enter High Bank cottage, a door to the left leads you to a pretty cottage dining room with woodburner stove, large round table and chairs for 6 and book shelves each side of the fireplace. From there you enter the kitchen which is well equipped with a cupboards, sink, dishwasher and electric range cooker with six rings, a grill and two ovens. Pots, pans, utensils, crockery and cutlery, glasses and a jug are all supplied and in good condition.
On from the kitchen is a large utility room with fridge/freezer, washing machine, sink and downstairs toilet. There is cupboard space with ironing board, iron and hanging space for coats etc. Plenty of room here to wash off muddy boots or dogs!
Back at the front door, turning right takes you to the lounge with second woodburner stove, TV, bookcases (stocked with books and games), sofa and seating. The TV has a FireTV stick installed, meaning that you can access streaming services such as Netflix, BBC iplayer, Amazon Prime accounts easily. A door from the lounge takes you into the conservatory - a lovely space to sit during the day, a small sofa, chairs and rug and then sliding glass doors lead you to the patio at the back of the property. The patio is paved and secluded. There is a gate to passageway along the side of the property to the front and this access to the patio and from there to the utility room makes returning from a long walk easy.
Upstairs, left takes you to the double room at the front of the property, with window and view to the front, plus hanging space and drawers. Next to the double (and closed off from the stairs and landing by a curtain, there is a modern bathroom with spa bath, shower over and saniflo toilet. Turning right from the top of the stairs takes you into a spacious twin room - with beds which convert to a super-king size bed if required. There is a wardrobe and chest of drawers. The cottage does not have a stair gate.
The shower room has mains toilet, basin and shower cubicle, with a small window and next door is the third bed room at the back, with good quality wooden bunk beds (3ft). Both bunks have bedside lights and storage boxes. Double windows in this room look to the rear of the cottage.
