A corner sofa doubles up as a double sofa bed for flexible sleeping arrangements, but is best enjoyed when snuggled up under a blanket in front of the Smart TV, being warmed by the underfloor heating while the wind whistles outside. A small dining area and kitchenette are great for cooking up and enjoying some easy meals using the integrated halogen hob and the microwave. Tucked away towards the back is where you will drift off after a day of walking on the double bed. Completing the interior is the shower room where you can ready yourself in the morning for an exciting day, or wind down later with a hot shower after a brisk walk in the chillier months.

    I particularly liked the shower room area - much larger than expected. The free samples were much appreciated. The underfloor heating very cosy. . The owners were very welcoming, and available for any queries. It was great to have linen, towels and energy costs included - unlike some pods we had stayed in. Everything we needed was there. It made the long journey there more manageable. I also liked that they tried to be as sustainable as possible - good principles. All in all a cosy haven. Would definitely recommend.
