Perfect for a romantic retreat or a family holiday with a host of options for eating out, activities and walks within easy reach. The space Cobbler's Cottage is packed full of medieval charm and cosiness with original beamed walls and ceilings, an inglenook fireplace and warming wood burning stove. The pretty kitchen boasts a Belfast sink and bespoke units, and leads down a couple of steps to the more recently added garden room, a light and sunny space from where the well-established and mature cottage garden can be viewed and enjoyed. The inviting sitting room showcases the beautiful inglenook fireplace; and gnarly old beams create a quirky partition from the slightly raised dining area. The original staircase leads from the sitting room up to a calming landing, furnished with a desk and easy chair, ideal for some quiet reading or catching up on some emails. Romantic bedroom one features a double bed, a pretty picture window and a television. Bedroom two is perfect for older children, with twin single beds and another television.
