As you explore, you’ll find two beautifully decorated bedrooms, each featuring a queen bed draped in soft French linen and lounges perfect for reading while listening to the birds outside. The new kitchen and dining area seamlessly integrates into the original cottage. Prepare intimate dinners from the farmhouse-style kitchen, whilst taking in picturesque sunsets and views of the river. Nearby, you can relax on the chaise lounge or enjoy the view from the private deck. The crooked chimney proudly stands at the heart of the home. Sink into the leather lounge and watch the fire or enjoy a board game or cards. You can also listen to your favourite music on the Bluetooth speaker or smart TV.

The cottage has been carefully styled to reflect its history and the surrounding environment, with every detail designed for your comfort and relaxation. From the fenced yard, you can chat with the friendly sheep, who love to an share apple, or follow them down to the river’s edge. Across the river, you’ll spot horses grazing and distant farmland.
