Guest access

In our opinion the kitchen is the best room in the cottage – light and airy, it offers the best views and has been left as a wonderfully functional family kitchen. The ‘Stanley Rayburn’ cooker/boiler and large oak dining table, make this a warm and comforting room for socialising. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob/electric oven, microwave, fridge/freezer & dishwasher. There is also a Nespresso coffee machine and Milk Frother.

Other things to note
