Sure to be the hub of the holiday. The kitchen is well equipped for catering with a central island, a Lacanche Range Cooker with two ovens, gas hob and warming drawers, a microwave, dishwasher, good sized free standing fridge/freezer, Nespresso machine (remember to bring pods!), kettle and toaster.
The adjacent dining area has an impressive dining table with nine chairs, a well stocked Welsh dresser, side table and folding doors opening onto the patio.
Family Room
To the left of the kitchen/dining room is an opening and unique doors with stained glass windows taking you into this cosy family room with stone floor and Inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner. This room’s furnished with a sofa, coffee table and TV with DVD player and selection of DVDs. A door opens onto steep stairs rising to the first floor but we advise guests to keep the door closed and use the main stairs for safety.
Drawing Room
Fabulous room full of light and character with windows to the front of the cottage, fireplaces at either end with wood burning stoves and beams a plenty! Furnished with plenty of sofas around a unique sturdy bench with a TV in the corner for your entertainment. At one end up a step is an additional sitting area, ideal for some quiet time with a good book, with door back to the kitchen.
Utility room
Off the dining room with a washing machine and extra storage space.
Shower Room
Conveniently placed for when you're downstairs or when you come in from the beach with sandy feet and beach gear so you don't have to traipse it upstairs! Shower, wash basin, WC.

Stairs
Carpeted open tread stairs rise from the kitchen/dining room to the first floor, split into two with three bedrooms to the left and the fourth to the right with the family bathroom. Please note that the stairs aren’t ideal for toddlers or guests with a mobility issue.

Upstairs
Accommodation for eight guests broken down into 2 x king, 3 x single, 1 x small double
Bedroom 1
The handsome oak king size bed sits between bedside tables under the beams in this carpeted room. There’s a dressing table with drawers and ample storage in the built-in wardrobes.
Bathroom
The bath sits under the beams (beware tall guests!) and there’s a wash basin, WC and natural light.
Bedroom 2
A good-sized family room with wooden floors, furnished with sturdy bunk beds and additional single bed.
Bedroom 3
The contemporary king size bed sits between bedside tables in this carpeted room. The sloping ceilings may be challenging for tall guests and there’s a very steep staircase from this room to the family room with a rope across as we recommend using the main staircase instead.
Bedroom 4
At the side of the cottage, this room has floorboards covered by a large rug and a unique 4ft antique bed with bedside drawers.
As the bed is quite small we consider that it is more suited to single occupancy.
Outside
The house is set back from the road and has a path to the left into the garden and driveway with gate to the right. There's a big patio running along the back with outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ (please bring your own charcoal), plus a huge lawn to run around in. Whilst the garden enclosed it is not 100% secure for children or adventurous dogs so please keep an eye on them.

This is a wonderfully quirky period house so be prepared for low ceilings and wonky floors!
ONE well behaved dog is welcome but not allowed on furniture or upstairs in the house and please be sure to clean up after them in the garden. There will be an additional charge if the housekeeper has to spend more time cleaning the house or surroundings.
