A covered front patio leads directly into the open plan comfortable living/ dining room with fireplace and wood burning stove. The kitchen has everything you will need for preparing meals.

The cottage offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and an opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of the surrounding countryside including enjoying the wonderful views down the valley and out to sea.
