While still preserving its integrity as a classical stone home, the inside of this cottage has been thoroughly modernised. We love the ubiquitous use of wood – with warm paneled windows in the living area, rustic beams in the bedroom and a beautiful antique dining set. It’s not hard to tell that every detail here has been carefully considered – from the stylish exposed stonework to the plush robes in the loft-style bedroom. Relax on the sofa with your holiday read, or fix up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen – in both rooms you’ll find signs of your host's exquisite eye for detail. Spend long days out in the large garden, sitting at the lovely table underneath the trees and soaking in vistas of the surrounding greenery. As for activities, this idyllic rural location offers excellent walking paths and cycling routes. Of course, if you just want to admire the countryside from your perch in the garden, that’s plenty of activity too.
