While the owners of the main house are on hand to offer advice if required, you have your own private entrance so can relax undisturbed if you prefer.

There are are two bedrooms sleeping up to four. The master bedroom has a kingsize bed and an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is usually a twin, but can be set up as a kingsize - so this is a great option for couples as well as families. There is also a spacious family shower room upstairs, and a downstairs toilet.

Downstairs, there is a large, open-plan living space with patio doors on to a private terrace with table and chairs enjoying wonderful countryside views.

The lounge has a wood-burning stove (logs provided), a TV, DVD player, iPod docking station and a Sonos WiFi speaker.
