Following the plant sheltered walkway to the entrance, you will immediately feel the layers of charm, setting the scene before you even step inside. Compact yet inspiring, Wash House Cottage commences with a dining room laid out for four people, your little place to settle down for a mornings breakfast or refreshments after a unique adventure. The cream-coloured kitchen rests beyond, housing everything you need on a day to day basis, with four steps taking you up to the sitting room, with a large TV and WiiFi. Simplistic yet carrying a traditional feel, this room is ideal for embracing the peace and quiet come evening, perhaps cosying up with a good book. Afterwards, the twin bedroom is a characterful place to enjoy a restful night's sleep, a lovely set-up under the eaves, with a Velux window and down-lighters above with it's own en-suite shower room. A small desk and TV are on the way in. Attuned to the cottage decor, a second shower room is a pleasant addition to the interior. What better way to start the next morning than with a warm cup of tea out in the patio area? A lovely spot surrounded by exposed brickwork, and intertwining flowers.

Lynn was very welcoming when we arrived and could not help us enough to settle in. I would certainly recommend this property to our friends and family.

It is perfect for us. Itâs not always easy to find somewhere that has twin beds available in one room, but Lyn facilitates this. Itâs in a perfect location with loads of dog friendly places around. We love it and will be back once again.
