Steps lead from the sitting room to the fully equipped kitchen/breakfast room, furnished with table and chairs and which also contains a pulley-style clothes airer. Equipment includes as much as possible to make self-catering easy: a toaster, blender, slow-cooker, coffee machine and grinder; and there is an ample supply of crockery, glasses, cutlery and saucepans.
The shower room has a w.c. and basin, with a wet-room style shower, towel rail and cabinet.
The cottage is on mains drainage, central heating is by mains gas. 

OUTSIDE
