Step into the sitting room, where the warmth of the fire sets the tone for relaxed evenings, and wander through to the kitchen, equipped for easy self-catering.

The dining area invites lingering conversations over hearty meals, while the ancient apple tree in the garden offers summer shade.

Upstairs, a king-size bedroom offers an escape, while the dressing room adds a touch of elegance to your stay, complemented by a ground-floor twin for flexible sleeping arrangements.
