For practicality and comfort we adapt the furniture arrangements to suite the number of guests staying and also take into account the time of year. In the early Spring and during the Autumn, when the days are cooler and the wood burner is aglow the summer furnishings are replaced with easy chairs and tapestry curtains to provide a warm and cosy feel. Leading from the kitchen on one side is the master bedroom with antique double bed and bathroom en -suite (jet-spray shower). Another bathroom leads off from the kitchen with jet-spray shower and washing machine. Up three steps to the other side of the kitchen/living area are two more bedrooms, one with twin beds and, adjoining, a children's room, sleeping 4. All bedrooms have oak beams, are wood paneled, with picture lights and ceiling fans for summer days and nights. Wood flooring with scatter rugs.

For early spring, autumn and winter oil-filled radiators keep the rooms warm and cosy. Both bathrooms have tiled floors, extractor fans and heaters. The property sleeps a maximum of 8 people and is equally suitable for a couple with or without children, four adults, or a group of 8. The garden area - both front and back doors of the cottage open from the kitchen/living area on to a large garden area which surrounds the cottage. This is partially enclosed, but can be fully enclosed for families with young children or if you want to confine your dog from roaming too far. It’s particularly easy for people who may have problems managing steps, as you step out from the cottage at the same level into the garden. There is a barbecue, sun loungers, tables and chairs and umbrellas. And also down at the lake side. Parking off street, with ample parking spaces.
