Up a short flight of stairs there are a further two double bedrooms both full of character oak beams and designer touches. Each room has a generous hanging wardrobe built into its walls and a flat screen TV makes these very comfortable and cosy additional bedrooms.
Perhaps the most exciting feature of this enchanting property is the walled garden with its seating area and beautiful thatched hut, which offers an al fresco dining option for up to 8 people - heated for those chillier evenings. However, the highlight has to be the large luxurious Hot Tub Jacuzzi with its multitude of settings - you can tailor your bubbles to suit …all at a relaxing 38 degrees!
