About this property
The Borrowers - a fabulous romantic cottage for two in an idyllic location
There is a Smart TV, a Blue Ray DVD player and DVDs, plus you can choose your own choice of music via Alexa. The kitchen is fully fitted and very well equipped. There is underfloor heating in the living room and bathroom, a ‘log’ fire in the living room and an independent thermostatically controlled electric radiator in the bedroom. A luxury free standing deep bath and a separate double power shower can be found in the bathroom. The cottage has a private decked patio equipped with tables and chairs and a bench – this is in addition to having access to the large shared communal gardens with plenty of seating, BBQ hut, ‘pub’ and the Lookout over the pond. The Borrowers is ideal for couples, and babies and toddlers are welcome, but as there is only one bedroom it is not suitable for older children. Pets of all kind are positively welcomed, and we try to keep our rules to an absolute minimum, but they must not be allowed into the bedroom or on to any furniture.
