Also, on the ground floor is the twin bedroom with an en-suite shower room complete with toilet & sink.

There is a log burning stove (gas fueled) set in a large brick built fireplace. Also a sofa bed to sleep an extra two adults or children & should you need them there is a TV, Video & CD player.
A large double bedroom, again with open beams & countryside views is also on the first floor. Next to this is a family bathroom. Cots & highchair are available on request.
Both cottages have been beautifully converted from a red-brick barn, on our working farm, to a very high standard. They are very well-equipped with gas central heating throughout. Each cottage is two storey & has it’s own private garden area with furniture & plenty of car-parking space.
There are pubs & restaurants available nearby & we do offer baby sitting by arrangement.
The cottages are cleaned before guests arrive but we ask for your co-operation in caring for the property & in the disposal of rubbish.
Duvets, bed linen & towels are provided & electricity & gas are included.
Both of our properties are non-smoking. Please note we cannot allow pets because of consideration for the farm.
