The countryside is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, with numerous country tracks and coastal trails to explore, ideal for cyclists, walkers, mountain bikers and hikers.

There is a shower room and WC between the bedrooms. downstairs is bedroom 3 with another king size sleigh bed and a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC.
