Occupying an elevated position at the head of a peaceful valley, the cottage enjoys far‑reaching countryside views and offers a wonderful retreat for families, friends and couples alike.
Full of charm and character, this spacious 15th‑century Grade II listed stone cottage blends historic features with modern comforts.
