Gardener's Cottage
The idyllic setting is a perfect spot to soak up the peace and quiet while the local area offers plenty of wildlife spotting opportunities, from butterflies to red squirrels.
Tastefully styled using a gentle palette of soothing neutrals, there is a large open plan living area featuring a cosy wood burning stove which provides plenty of country charm. There is a sociable dining space for six guests and the kitchen is well appointed and equipped with an electric range cooker perfect for holiday living.
On sunny days French doors open out into the garden for those alfresco moments and the odd glass of wine set against set against a back drop of pretty woodland. The three double bedrooms are understated but elegant providing flexible accommodation for friends and families.
Whilst there is limited walking on the Estate due to livestock, conservation areas and gamebirds, guests can be advised of alternative walks and beautiful areas very close by to explore on foot within easy reach from the cottage itself.
