You'll stay in a converted late 17th century cottage which was used as a pillerie - where people used to get put in the stocks when they were very naughty - we are restoring this to its original glory, and the bars are still on the windows of the courtyard garden.
The cottage will comprise of a stylishly designed open plan living and kitchen space complete with sofa bed [sleeps 1], coffee machine and rustic log burner, the upstairs king bed sleeps 2/3. The walled courtyard garden will be an oasis of calm and privacy - perfect for nature loving couples, thruples or small families to escape to.
Watch the stars through the skylights and enjoy breakfast or a BBQ on the terrace overlooking the sanctuary or the sunset from the specially created viewing point next to our four giant trees, and pick your own apples, plums and pears from our picturesque orchard - we are creating a haven in the middle of our own little piece of heaven.
Guests will have access to our fully furnished gym with spin bike, multi gym, weights and running machine.
Starlink WiFi available [although photos and social media posts are super welcome, the prolonged use of phones and computers is discouraged!] There will be no TV at this accommodation - we want our guests to be fully immersed and present in the beauty of our sanctuary.
