Beneath the rustic stone exterior, you’ll find a haven of contemporary country cottage charm in the spacious kitchen/diner, which boasts a combination of elegant decor and exposed timber beams that’ll capture your imagination, inspiring you to get creative with tasty local produce. Follow the warmth of the roaring wood burner into the adjoining lounge to unwind at the end of a busy day’s adventure; exposed brickwork and sumptuous, homely touches create a truly cosy ambience. Brimming with character, featuring beautiful, exposed beams and quirky sloped ceiling, the king-size bedroom upstairs provides cosiness and sophistication in equal measure. Crisp white linens promise a restful night’s sleep, while the en-suite bathroom, with its soaring ceiling, sleek contemporary design, and indulgent lovers’ bath, adds a touch of pure luxury.
