The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner has a beamed ceiling, tiled floor and everything you and your loved one require for a comfortable stay. Take a step up to open the French doors to the garden on spring and summer days. Light the wood burner so it crackles gently in the background on chilly evenings.

When the day draws to a close, climb the wooden stairs up to the first floor. Here you will find a charming galleried dressing space leading to a double bedroom with a modern, four-poster bed. There is a bathroom at the cottage where you can enjoy long, hot bubble baths. Cook lunch or dinner out on the BBQ in your private garden on summer afternoons. Take a stroll around the shared gardens as well, looking out for wildlife.
