The owners have lovingly furnished the cottage throughout to provide a first class property. Stepping into the entrance hall with original Victorian tiles, you can hang your coat and start your stay. Head through to the former Judges robing room, now home to a beautiful spacious lounge, with gorgeous interior finish and plenty of comfy seating and a welcoming gas fire set in an old marble fireplace, making a great place to relax in front of after a full day out and about exploring the area.

When it's time to retire, head upstairs to the stunning view of the court room ceiling beams, cleverly displayed through glass, to the three bedrooms, two doubles and a twin.
