Share a meal with family and friends in the spacious dining room, with another woodburner plus a cosy corner to plan your next adventure with local maps and guidebooks to help! There's a farmhouse table, bench & dining chairs, two undercounter fridges (one with ice box, NOTE no large freezer available) and toaster. At the rear is the downstairs WC, back door out to enclosed garden with table & chairs, parasol and BBQ plus outhouse with washing machine and space to store bikes.

It is extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. I’m sure we’ll be back in the future." Guest access Guests will have entire house. Other things to note There's a rear access gate to bring bikes in to the outhouse, via side entrance of Jack's Cottage next door. The cottage is in a small village but there is some passing traffic - including regular farm vehicles (taking livestock to market etc). It is a very old cottage... wonky doors, stone floors, lots of charm but please do bring slippers for the cold floors & be prepared to wear layers, the stone walls are 3 feet thick!! Logs - an INITIAL supply is left for both woodburners but if you want to light the fires as soon as you arrive at 4pm then you'll need to bring supplies to last the whole evening.
