Recently converted to a high standard, the cosy, beamed, stone cottage has full central heating. Upstairs lies a brass king size bed with white linen.

At one end there is a comfortable sofa where you can enjoy TV and DVD or just gaze out over the pastoral view through French windows.















These open out onto a large southwest-facing balcony, entwined with scented roses, honeysuckle and clematis. Here there is a table and chairs for al fresco dining, shaded by the leaves of a walnut tree.













The kitchen has a dining table and chairs, is well equipped and is fully fitted with solid ash worktops. The cottage and pool boast natural spring drinking water, which also supplies the power shower.







Steps from the balcony lead down to the paved terrace, within which lies the 30 ft x 15 ft pool. Here in a sheltered corner is a large glass topped table with white parasol for shade and chairs that fully recline. Roses, lavender and thyme border the terrace.




Adjoining the pool is a tranquil shady orchard of both young and well-established plums, pears, medlars, apples, figs and mulberries. At the far end of this orchard is the vegetable garden. Raspberries and vegetables are available in season.




Visitors are encouraged to enjoy a swim whenever they wish and to feel free to wander through the beautiful gardens. We hope they consider that this is their home while they are staying with us.
