The space

We live in the property year-round, and will be present during your stay as we both work (quietly) from home. Your stay includes private use of an upstairs double bedroom and shared use of both the main upstairs bathroom with shower and bath and the downstairs wet room with shower and toilet. The bedroom has a double bed with all bed linen and towels provided as well as hanging space in a built-in wardrobe and a chest of drawers in the room.

Use of the kitchen and dining room during breakfast is encouraged and basic breakfast items such as bread, cereal, fruit, milk, fruit juice, tea and coffee are included in the cost of your stay. Hot, cooked breakfasts can be provided and paid for separately, by arrangement with the hosts. Use of the kitchen after breakfast can be arranged with us, but generally speaking we encourage you to take advantage of all the wonderful places to eat in the area as we’re not suitable as fully self-catering accommodation. There is a washing machine and tumble dryer that guests can use if needed, and are included in the cost of your stay. Use of the comfortable living room and wood burning stove is also included.

The accommodation comes with access to a large garden with garden furniture and a hammock (weather-permitting!) and a writing studio at the end of the garden. The studio is furnished with a sofa, comfortable chairs, a writing desk and books, and it comes with wifi and mains electricity. It has a small kitchenette with fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster, so it’s suitable for daily use and preparation of snacks.
