Carefully refurbished to a high standard, this cottage has been sympathetically designed to accentuate the building’s original purpose as a grain store. The building is over 300 years old and there are beautiful exposed oak beams throughout, giving the cottage a characterful yet comfortable feel.
The kitchen and dining area is fully equipped and includes hob, extractor fan, microwave with grill over, fridge, compartment freezer, kettle, toaster and dishwasher. There is a table and chairs for dining. We’ll leave you a welcome pack with bread and butter, fresh milk and tea and coffee.

Upstairs, and running the whole length of the cottage, is the living room, with a lovely oak beamed vaulted ceiling, original oak floor, and stylish log burner.
