The space
From the street, this terraced cottage may appear ordinary. However, it's a bit of an illusion. Step through the front door and it's a different world. It's a traditional and stylish space with a log burner, comfortable sofa, and smart TV. Pick up one of the books or maps and plan your next adventure.
Through to the kitchen, and you'll find a selection of cooking equipment and crockery; a modern oven and hob, fridge (no freezer), microwave, small washing machine and slimline dishwasher. Eat your meal at the table overlooking the rear yard or make the most of any nice weather by dining at the outdoor table and chairs. There is also a stable door if you can't decide whether you want to be in or out. There's also a handy outside toilet. Although our bin is located beyond the yard gate, the surrounding gardens belong to our neighbours.
Upstairs you will find a spacious bathroom with roll top bath and full height shower. Across the landing is the attractive and comfortable king size bedroom with a notable historic feature - extremely long floorboards which stretch from the bathroom door to the bedroom window.

This is a self-catering property. No meals are provided and you will need to bring your own provisions. We like to leave a few starter items such as milk and bread, (items may change subject to availability). The cottage heating and hot water can be controlled remotely by your hosts but can also be overridden by you during your stay. If you need any help with this please just message the team.
