We've also made sure that our furnishings are comfortable, practical and blend in with the theme in each room and that the beds are as comfortable as can be, with quality mattresses and linen.
The kitchen contains most things that you would need and more. There is an abundance of cooking things, quality crockery, plenty of cutlery and glasses of all types.
The wood heater makes for an extra cosy Winter's night and is very effective in heating the whole cottage. Of course it can be backed up with the gas ducted heating or used instead of a fire.

There are a lot of flowers, fruit and nut trees, vegetable gardens and herbs growing in the grounds, which you can use while you are at Bird Hill.
