A glass of wine and a dip in the hot tub is a must.
The open plan living area is delightful.
Steps lead up to the mezzanine 'snug' with limited headspace owing to being in the eaves.

Cosy up on the sofa.

I didn't actually go due to work commitments, but my inlaws came down instead and were at pains to tell me how lovely it was - and that I would have loved it. They also gave the owners a 10/10

Lovely quiet retreat for a few days , near to pretty beaches, and great pub serving tasty homecooked meals. The farmers inn in the village.
Mrs McKee November 2021
Perfect little retreat for a cosy holiday whatever the time of year. Bursting with beautiful details and thoughtful touches. And very dog friendly, leaving very tasty treats, and very secure place for dogs. We had a lovely time in this little nest.

This is a "quirky" (but in a good way) property and it was great to stay in something a bit different. Someone has obviously invested a lot of time and effort in producing the artistic touches which make it interesting and not run-of-the-mill. Very quiet location and dog friendly. Local pub and take-away just up the road were great and the main attractions in the area are only a short distance away so hardly any travelling to see things....
