What the Owner says:

We brought this house twenty years ago and it was very much a family affair, with ourselves, siblings and our parents all sharing ownership.

We have all enjoyed the benefits of living here, such as the wide, open space outside and watching an array of local wildlife in the gardens, as well as running this thriving holiday business together.

The three holiday cottages have been converted from a barn originally and all were purpose built as identical units. They all comprise of an open plan kitchen living area and a bedroom and shower room on the ground floor – ideal for guests with limited mobility. On the first floor is a second bedroom and a family bathroom. Outside, each has its own decking area with a post and rail boundary fence, beyond which are more of the property's grounds.
