Our beautiful cottage is made up of two areas - the quaint cottage itself and the inviting modern pool room area. Our unique retreat awaits your arrival.

*Cottage*
The inviting downstairs area boasts a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen ideal for families who enjoy cooking together. Complete with an oven, hob, fridge, freezer, and a breakfast bar with two stools, it's perfect for preparing delicious meals. A convenient bathroom with a shower and toilet is just off the kitchen. The adjacent dining room, with a table and six chairs, offers a cosy setting for family meals, and there's an even larger dining area in the pool room for shared gatherings. Step into the charming living room, featuring a delightful cottage atmosphere, a TV, and a comfortable double sofa bed. With its bright, airy ambiance and double aspect windows overlooking the garden, the lounge is the perfect place to relax and unwind.

Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms - one featuring a double bed and the other a king-size bed. Additionally, there's a cosy double bedroom that can easily be adapted to a single, catering to your group's specific needs. All the bedrooms are flooded with natural light and offer picturesque views of the garden and pool area. You'll also find a well-appointed bathroom on this floor, complete with a toilet, bath, and shower attachment.

*Pool Room Area*
From the kitchen, there is a hallway containing a utility area with a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board. Ascend the stairs to a spacious bedroom boasting a king-size bed and an ensuite bathroom with a toilet and an electric shower over the bath.

As you continue down the hallway, you'll be greeted by the expansive pool room area, flooded with natural light from the patio doors that open out to the garden. This area features two double sofa beds in the lounge, a TV, and a DVD player. Additionally, there's a dining area with tables and chairs accommodating up to 14 people, as well as a large shower and toilet. This versatile space is perfect for children, teenagers, or a separate family unit to enjoy while the rest of the family occupies the cottage.

Discover the allure of this exquisite property with its expansive and secure garden. Imagine relaxing on the patio with a table, chairs, and umbrella, perfect for hosting summer gatherings. The garden is meticulously tended to every other week by a skilled gardener, and a professional pool maintenance company visits every Thursday throughout the summer. This is the perfect setting for creating unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

Please note there is an outdoor heated swimming pool. Over the summer months it has the cover off. From the 9th September, a hard plastic cover is put over the pool and the pool is not available to guests throughout autumn and winter. It will be available and heated again from the start of the following May.

We absolutely love having dogs as our guests, and we welcome them to stay with us for free! Your furry friends will be treated to dog treats, a water and food bowl, and cosy towels for a post-walk drying session. To ensure everyone's comfort, we kindly ask that you accompany your dogs at all times and keep them off the furniture and beds, allowing them to roam only on tiled or wooden floors. Thank you for understanding, and we can't wait to host you and your four-legged pals!
