Welcome to Xidong Cottage - Your Serene Japanese retreat in Chapel Lawn. Escape to a world of tranquillity at Xidong Cottage, where the name, meaning ’Rising Sun’ in Chinese, perfectly encapsulates the promise of a new beginning and the start of a romantic weekend.
Formerly a cowshed, it has been lovingly transformed into a unique and intimate holiday retreat that sleeps two guests, making it the ideal destination for couples seeking a cosy getaway.
