Relax and unwind in this beautiful completely off-grid cottage, where there is no mains electricity, lights work off the solar panels. ‘’Winter guest please note, lack of sun may mean that the solar panel battery doesn’t get charged. We supply lamps if this becomes an issue).The thick stone walls are cool in summer and cosy in winter. For winter guests, the kitchen is lovely and warm as the Rayburn provides heat and hot water. The wood burner in the living room, a radiator in the bathroom and heavy winter duvets in the bedrooms (no heaters) provide enough heat to keep you cosy! This characterful beamed cottage, with slightly wonky floors, is full of quirky little features and character, as you would expect from an old cottage. It has been tastefully decorated and you can relax in the living room while taking in the spectacular views and cosy up in front of the wood burner in winter.

This is a remote setting with stunning views and no neighbours - apart from the woolly, four-legged kind! Go on adventures for miles (you have access to 400 acres of the owners’ land), or simply sit and relax and take in the breathtaking views.

Heating, hot water and cooking is via the oil Rayburn, whilst the fridge runs off of the solar panel, (see above) and the hob runs on gas. There is no TV, no Wi-Fi, and no distractions (there is 4G reception outside). If you fancy a complete break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life this is the property for you. If you can’t live without your gadgets, we suggest you bring fully charged power banks.

Set in a remote, detached location this property benefits from a private wood-fired hot tub / or can be used unheated as a plunge pool, (£30 for initial set up, bags of extra logs £10) from where you can also take in the surrounding views. The area is perfect for walkers with many footpaths starting from the front door.

    The peace and quiet was wonderful. The cottage is truly remote with lovely walks from the doorstep. It was well equipped and clean. The fridge is particularly small, so bear that in mind when shopping! The pictures of the cottage don't do justice to how lovely it is in the summer with the trees in leaf and the hillsides green and lush. We've come home thoroughly refreshed.
