The cottage boasts a lovely stable style front door that you can swing open on a warm evening and look out onto the courtyard or sip your morning coffee. The shared courtyard is a real suntrap, with seating to sit out and soak up your surroundings, or on a clear evening why not enjoy looking at the stars with a glass of something!
