Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can look forward to curling up on the plush leather sofa and catching up on your favourite series on the TV, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby. Rustle up delicious home-cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, with handy dishwasher ensuring cleaning up is a breeze. Pop open a bottle of fizz and settle down around the dining table to tuck-in to the fruits of your labour, as you toast to a wonderful holiday. Continue the evening out on the enclosed patio, where you can soak up the remainder of the afternoon sunshine as your canine companion stretches their legs. Indulge in a blissful bubble bath with your favourite book as your towel warms on the nearby heated towel rail. As the evening grows darker, pop on fresh pyjamas and choose from one of two tastefully decorated bedrooms to catch your rest in, a double and a twin. Take advantage of the convenient external utility, which houses a washing machine, so you don’t have to bring your whole wardrobe with you! Explore the local village, which has everything you could need right on your doorstep, including an excellent selection of pubs, restaurants and tearooms for those evenings where you don’t feel like cooking.
