At the top of the stairs you will find a beautiful bedroom with original oak beams and a king-sized bed. There is an ensuite bathroom with enclosed shower, wash basin and toilet. A sunny bistro set is available on the terraced steps outside of the cottage for early morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Cozy blankets are provided for those chilly nights. Please note: my 175 year old stone cottage is cool in the summer, especially on the ground floor. Please bring a jumper/sweater and some slippers if you are especially adverse to the cold! Located 25 metres from the property is a private car park, with a dedicated parking space for my cottage. Please note, there is space for one vehicle only. ***Please note that my cottage is not suitable for infants or children, as there is an open & winding staircase and a working log burner that does not have a shield. ***Please also note that the cottage is only accessible via the road from the car park, as there is no shared access from the car park (the right of way was terminated when my neighbors purchased their cottage). There are stairs that lead down to my cottage. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed as the host has allergies. As this is a 175 year old stone house, the ground floor tends to be cold in both winter & the summer. In the winter, plastic film is applied to the windows to keep out the cold & draughts, and thus the windows are unable to be opened. Radiators are used to warm the cottage October-April. In the summer, fresh warm air can be let into the cottage via the front door and windows, and there are fans you can use to distribute the fresh air around the cottage.
