It sleeps two with the option of a cot bed if required. Linen and towels are supplied but please provide your own bedding for the cot bed. This is a fully self contained holiday let with an en-suite bedroom with king size bed, kitchen diner with log burner and seating area. There is ample off road parking and access to the gardens, which were recently opened for the National Garden Scheme, and croquet lawn.
