Gorgeous oak fittings and delicate homely details greet you in a space that encourages you to unwind and relax in picturesque surroundings. Find yourself daydreaming in the bright and cosy dining area while enjoying a morning coffee and embracing the blissful crisp sunlight as you look out of the wooden windows, to unspoilt fields and gentle woodland.
