Beehive Cottage is 200 years old and used to be the home of the district nurse.
Sit back and relax in the sitting-room which has a gorgeous original inglenook fireplace with a delightful wood-burner effect gas stove.
The courtyard garden is south-facing, making it a real sun-trap. Fully enclosed, the area makes a fantastic space for children and dogs to safely explore.
The well-equipped galley kitchen looks out over the pretty courtyard garden.
The master bedroom has a king-size double bed and lovely soft linens.
The dining-room is completely separate from the sitting-room, ideal for long lazy meals.
The modern ground-floor bathroom is a lovely bright space.
You will find it difficult to tear yourself away from this lovely wood-burner effect gas stove.
A view of the stairs with the traditional door. Should you wish to use a stair-gate, you will need to place it at the door of the twin room.
This pretty bedroom can either be made up as a king-size double bed (5') or two 2'6" twin beds.
Bee careful to not bump your head on the low lintels! These super sweet bees will help to remind you to take care.
This is the view towards the top of the stairs.
The television is cleverly hidden behind wooden doors.

This is one of the best cottages we have stayed at. It was unseasonably chilly but on arrival the cottage was warm and cosy. There are loads of double electric sockets everywhere. Very convenient when there are phones, watches, trackers and toothbrushes to charge. It is dog friendly and there are several off lead walks within a short walking distance of the house. The position is in a quiet village street, parking by the front door and a lovely church opposite. Restaurant and pub a 5 minute walk away, also a well stocked Spar in the High Street. A very pretty village within short distance of many attractions. The stairs are steep and twisty but there are rails all the way up on both sides, so felt perfectly safe. Recommended highly...

We had a lovely time at Beehive Cottage. This unique, historic little house is a delightful place to stay. We did lock ourselves out one day - but our host was along with the key very shortly. Thank you so much! We would be happy to return some time. ...
