This beautiful Victorian stable, that was once fully functioning has been tastefully renovated and converted into a comfortable 1 bedroom cottage sleeping 2 people. The cottage has been re-furbished in a light but luxurious style and has been brought into the 21st century, with contemporary kitchen and bathroom and very comfy furnishings.
On the ground floor it has a lovely cosy living room and dining space with a well-equipped kitchen. There is a beautiful sunny courtyard with outside furniture too. On the first floor it has a master bedroom, which is spacious and peaceful with a solid wood frame double bed and superior quality mattress, covered with natural linen. There is also a lovely light and airy shower room with all the essentials.
