Sleeping four guests in two bedrooms and perfect for couples and small families alike, wake to beautiful views over the surrounding fields, with wonderful walks from the door that every outdoor enthusiast will just love. On summer evenings, return to sizzle up a BBQ and, in the winter months, get the wood burner-effect electric fire glowing for cosy nights in on the sofa.

Minimalist yet welcoming, simple and charming interiors create a comforting home from home in this 17th-century, stone-built cottage. A neutral palette throughout, cream walls are punctuated with artwork with light furnishings creating a sense of space and light in the compact kitchen and cosy, eaved bedrooms.

Step inside to store all your outdoor clothing in the hall before heading through to the light and bright lounge. Comfortable sofas beckon you to put your feet up and relax with a glass of wine in the amber ambience, pup and your feet and film on the Smart TV. Prepare yourself a delicious home-cooked meal in the kitchen and dine at the table in the lounge, on warm evenings opening the stable door to the garden allowing the fresh, coastal air to breeze in. As the day draws to a close, retire for a restful night’s sleep in the eaves bedrooms, serene in pastel tones and both with armchairs should a little privacy be required. Wake refreshed to enjoy a coffee in the garden or potter to the farm shop across the road to grab something for breakfast.

Outside, the fully enclosed garden is laid to lawn and patio, with a charcoal BBQ and a seating area ideal for al fresco dining morning, noon and night. As the sun sets, relax with a wee dram, good local ale or a nice glass of wine, recharging your batteries for another busy day tomorrow.
