Kept light and airy throughout, this cheery home from home welcomes you from the moment you arrive. Step inside to discover the open-plan living space with living room, kitchen and diner close by. This sociable space ensures that everyone can chat whilst meals are prepared and dinner is served. The kitchen has been equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge, washing machine and the all-important dishwasher. Meals can be enjoyed right here in the kitchen space meaning it’s easy to serve up meals and clear away afterwards. Completing this space is an inviting lounge with two cushy sofas and a Smart TV. Carry on through the property to find two bedrooms on the ground floor. The first of these is a versatile zip-and-link room that can be made up as a twin or super-king-size, the second is a spacious double. Completing this property is a sizeable wet room with a WC, walk-in shower and helpful additional handrails.

We loved this place a lot. It was quite remote and located tactically reachable to certain key coastal areas. The kids in particular loved the place due to its remoteness. It was peaceful and calm. Perfectly relaxing!

You need to follow the directions really carefully as it is easy to go wrong on a network of narrow lanes. The property is delightful although the farm surrounding it is not attractive.
