All three cottages have been finished to a good standard and offer light, spacious and airy accommodation and a baby bath and steriliser are available on request. All on one level and ideal for the less mobile guests, you will find an open plan living room and kitchen area with wooden floors, underfloor heating and French doors leading out to a fenced patio area.
