The cosy sitting room is furnished with a comfortable settee, a rocking chair and period furniture. It features a wood burner for chilly evenings. A Smart TV, fibre fast broadband and a cupboard full of traditional board games are provided for cosy evenings in. A dining table and chairs set in an alcove lends itself as a work station if required. The kitchen is fitted with freestanding furniture, a belfast sink, pine kitchen table and chairs.

There's a table and chairs for alfresco dining and comfy seats for morning coffee in the sun. Outdoor cooking facilities include a charcoal barbeque (which can be laid up for you if requested), and for the more adventurous cook, a Kamado mini ceramic grill (instructions provided).
