WEEKEND STAYS:

Make the most of every moment of your weekend away.

Our weekend stays begin on Friday, but there’s no need to rush home on Sunday. You can choose to stay and enjoy the cottage for as long as you like on Sunday or depart on Monday morning. It means more time for a leisurely Sunday lunch, another riverside walk, or simply putting your feet up and enjoying the cottage before heading home.

GARDEN AND OUTSIDE SPACE:

The cottage has a private driveway to the front, with level access directly to the front door. The pretty front garden is bordered by a small decorative wall and is landscaped with flowers and planted pots, creating a lovely welcome as you arrive.

To the rear of the cottage is a lovely landscaped private, secure and enclosed garden arranged over three levels. From the kitchen and lounge, the patio area is easily accessible, with a short set of steps leading up to a gravelled terrace featuring pots and seasonal planting. A further short set of railway sleeper steps leads to the lawned garden, providing additional space to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Please note: Although the patio areas immediately outside the cottage are easily accessible from the kitchen and lounge, the rear garden is terraced and includes two sets of steps. The upper areas may therefore be unsuitable for guests with limited mobility or for very young children without close supervision.

Stunning property in a perfect location, excellent for exploring local trails with our 2 beagles. Sonia the host could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended. Secure back garden for peace of mind with dogs.
