Upstairs, the carpeted stairway leads you to 4 bedrooms and the main bathroom. The double bedroom with en suite shower room looks out over the back garden and fields. Two twin bedrooms and one bunk bedroom share the bathroom which has both a bath and a separate shower.

As in the other properties, there is full central heating which is all oil fired and electricity included in the cost of your stay.
