Utility Room:
A hallway with a small step passes the utility room which houses the washer/dryer and a large sink.

Table lamps to the sides of the bed and around the room provide soft lighting so you can decompress and enjoy the tranquillity.

The house was wonderful, it felt like a family home. Clean, tidy, and equipped with everything you need. The kitchen is beautiful, and the garden is nice and cosy and there is plenty of space in the house. Alex the owner was kind and helpful. We will definitely be back.

We all were in agreement that the cottage was just delightful! Absolutely spotless with huge bedrooms, gorgeous bathrooms, and the communal areas were great. The kitchen in particular had such great amenities. Beautiful garden and in a very quiet area. I could go on. We loved our stay and will 100% be back!
