The kitchen/diner has an ample supply of cooking utensils, crockery and cutlery. The oval dining table seats 6 or 8 comfortably and the wood burner gives a wonderful warmth whilst dining on a cold winters evening.

There are 2 double bedrooms with zip and link beds to give guests the freedom to choose if they can be set up as a double or as two single beds. The single bedroom is spacious, and has enough room for a z bed if required. For added comfort, our guests are provided with top quality, white, crisp bed linen and white towelling dressing gowns.
