The Property

The cottage has been lovingly renovated and thoughtfully equipped to create a cosy, romantic home-from-home. As one of our guests wrote, “Walking into Mary’s Cottage was like being enveloped by a warm, friendly hug.” Gentle Farrow & Ball colours, comfy sofas and bed and beautiful pieces of art by local artists come together to form a truly relaxing environment.

The accommodation comprises:

Living/dining room: Comfy sofas to snuggle on, a wood burner with logs and kindling supplied and a cosy corner for dining. There are bookshelves packed with an eclectic range of books and DVDs (including some local history), folders of tourist information and magazines plus games and colouring books for those times when you just want to relax by the fire. Free wi-fi, a good-sized Smart TV with Netflix, Chromecast and a combined digital radio/Bluetooth speaker.

Kitchen: Well equipped and modern, the kitchen contains a large fridge-freezer, a wine fridge, dishwasher, single oven with induction hob, a microwave and a slow cooker. Complimentary tea, coffee, sugar, sweetener, herb teas and a basic range of herbs, spices and cooking oil are provided.

Utility room: Washing machine and separate tumble dryer, iron and table-top ironing board plus room for coats, boots/shoes. A fire blanket, fire extinguisher, basic first aid kit, insect repellent, sunscreen lotion and torches are also kept in here.

Bedroom: Comfortable double bed with Egyptian cotton bedding and non-allergenic duvet and pillows, plenty of hanging/drawer space for clothes and remote controlled bedside lights.

Shower room: Sparkling clean, contemporary shower room with underfloor heating and heated towel rail. Fluffy white towels and quality toiletries are provided.

Outside: At the back of the house is a sunny south-facing area for sitting out, with table and chairs provided. The stone bench outside the front door is the perfect spot for sitting with a glass of wine on a summer’s evening to watch the sun set. The side/rear area is gated and secure for dogs. Guests have access to a lockable outbuilding enabling secure storage of fishing rods, bikes etc. There are bikes and cycling helmets in the outbuilding and guests are welcome to use them at their own risk.

Facilities for children aged up to 18 months: A high chair is available upon request.

Parking: Parking on the quiet road right outside the cottage is free and unlimited. The area behind the property is our neighbours’ access route to/from their garage so must be left clear at all times.
