On the second floor, there are four bedrooms beneath the eaves, each en-suite. There are three family rooms; a double with three singles, a double with two singles, a double with one single, and a small double for not-at-all-tall guests.

The cottage sleeps eight in three bedrooms,  one is a double with a bunk bed, the second is a smaller room with a bunk bed and the third is a double. The shared bathroom is downstairs, and there’s a kitchen and living room.

Downstairs in the main house,  there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy. There’s a practical, 1950’s inspired kitchen, two inter-connecting living rooms, a large dining room (you can configure the tables however you might choose), and a games room with a pool table, table tennis and table football.

Outside, there’s a large entrance courtyard, which leads down to a beautifully large lawn, perfect for games. There’s also a sun terrace with seating and a barbecue, and a hot tub set to enjoy the view over the valley.
