Stable
Cottage - Sleeps 2

Stable Cottage has an ‘L’ shaped living area with views over the
valley. It is compact and cleverly designed so that the
kitchen and dining area do not intrude on the comfortable
sitting area [below]. The latter is set around a slate
fireplace with a dog grate, which was uncovered during
renovation [an attractive feature although it cannot be used
as the chimney no longer exists]. It has a slate floor,
beams, exposed lintels, books, paintings and colour TV.
There is Broadband Internet access for your computer. The
kitchen is well designed and has hand-made Italian tiled
work surfaces. It is fully equipped with electric cooker,
fridge, microwave and high quality pans and crockery.
A
wide spiral iron staircase [which was crafted by a local
blacksmith] leads into the bedroom, which has views
over a raised pond and steep paddock – keep an eye open for
visiting heron. The bedroom has an antique brass and iron
double bed, which has seasonal duvets and an additional
quilt [anti-allergy bedding]. The bedroom and en-suite
shower room [inc. washbasin and toilet] have beams and a
fitted carpet.
For the comfort of all of our guests [ present and
future ] we operate a policy of no smoking inside the
cottages.
