The spacious living room has a sofa and two armchairs to snuggle up on in front of the cosy wood burner. (A starter pack of wood, kindling and fire-lighters are provided). Here you can simply relax and gaze out at the glorious views or maybe later watch a movie on the TV (there’s a DVD player as well). There is dining table is in this room too, with plenty of space for everyone to sit and eat together or maybe play a game.  A place to share laughter and make plans for your next day of adventures.

The living room leads on to the well-equipped kitchen where there is also a kitchen table. You’ll find all the pots, pans, utensils, cutlery, crockery and glassware you’ll need. As well as the electric oven and gas hob, there’s a microwave, fridge freezer, kettle and toaster. There’s also a dishwasher.  Although you may spend time standing at the sink anyway, looking through the kitchen window. Lots of guests watch the deer in the field from here.

There’s a separate utility room with a washing machine, and a washing line outside.

With central heating and double glazing throughout, you’ll be warm and toasty all year round.
