Accommodation

Fern Cottage is a large, light, 3 bedroomed holiday cottage sleeping up to 5 people and is centrally heated.

In decorating the cottage we have retained all the lovely oak beams and given it a modern twist.

High-speed internet is available throughout as well as Netflix and Amazon Prime on the 50” TV in the living room.

Bedroom three is cosy and gorgeously decorated with a single bed and chest of drawers.

Living room

Slow down and stretch out on our comfy sofa in the living room which also features a leather armchair and squishy occasional chair.

There is also an open wood-burning fireplace for those winter months. If you still need to get work done, there is a quiet corner that includes a desk and work chair, making it the perfect spot to work (and gaze out into the garden).

Conservatory

In warmer months the conservatory is the place to relax, read a book and forget the stresses of everyday life.

The garden

Step from the conservatory into a quiet, pretty cottage garden. Atmospheric even in winter.

Perfect all year round.

If you’re visiting us in winter, hopefully, you’ll be lucky enough to experience a light dusting of snow, making the entire village and cottage look like something out of the movie ‘The Holiday’.
