Accommodation
The entrance to the property is via the hall with space for coats and boots, etc. Then straight into the living room which has a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings on the sofa. The dining table comfortably seats four and is by the entrance to the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a large electric range oven and hob, microwave, cookware, cutlery, crockery, glasses, etc. and an under-counter fridge with a small freezer compartment. Some non-perishable items will be provided, such as salt, pepper, oil, etc.
Upstairs there is one double bedroom with King sized bed, and one twin room. The bathroom comprises a bath with shower over, toilet and handbasin. The 2nd TV is there in the King sized bed room.
Electricity and heating costs are included in the price of your accommodation. Central heating is fitted throughout the property and there is a wood-burner in the living room for winter use. One basket of logs and some kindling will be provided. Further logs can be purchased on site from the owners if required.

Up to two dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, for a supplement of £15 per dog. Please do not allow your dogs on the furniture or upstairs.
Wifi is available, but given this is a rural area, speeds are typically slow. There is poor mobile coverage at the cottage itself, with some from EE and Vodafone.
There is no washing machine at the property, but the owners will do a load for any guests staying for a week or more.
Sorry: No children under 5, as this is a farm with ponds and livestock.

Everything was excellent. Housesitter Clare was a fantastic host and really helped me when it was needed. Great welcome package. Views were amazing. Enjoyed seeing the horses kept next to the cottage. Cottage felt quite cold despite sunny weather but there was a heater which we used.
