The space
Whether you're planning a romantic getaway for 2, a family holiday, or a peaceful writer's retreat, this unique three-storey stone cottage offers a magical escape steeped in history, character and comfort.
Originally built in the 1600s and once serving as the village grocer's store, the cottage has been lovingly restored to combine the rich heritage with modern comforts. With three beautifully styled bedrooms, a log-burning stove, and thoughtful details throughout, its the perfect place to relax and recharge.
The ground floor welcomes you with an open-plan living space that blends rustic charm with inviting warmth. Plush seating surrounds a real multi-fuel log burner, creating a cosy atmosphere for evenings by the fire. The country-style kitchen, complete with up-to-date appliances, is ideal for preparing hearty meals, while the farmhouse dining table invites relaxed family feasts or intimate suppers.
On the first floor, you'll find elegance and romance in equal measure. The Victorian-inspired bathroom is a true sanctuary, featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, traditional brass fittings, and vintage details that make it perfect for long, indulgent soaks. The master bedroom is equally enchanting, with its majestic four-poster double bed, soft linens, and a decorative fireplace that adds a touch of period charm.
The second floor showcases the cottage's character with exposed stone walls and original timber beams. Here, two themed bedrooms bring whimsy and charm to your stay. The Highland cow double bedroom is rustic yet playful, celebrating the beauty of the Scottish Highlands with thoughtful touches. The Cockapoo single bedroom is bright and cheerful, filled with playful details that make it perfect for younger guests or anyone who adores four-legged friends.
Outside, a private and secure backyard offers a peaceful space to relax and unwind. Enclosed by stone walls and greenery, it's an inviting setting for morning coffee, leisurely lunches, or evenings under the stars. A rustic chiminea provides warmth on cooler nights, while soft lighting from string lights and lanterns creates a magical atmosphere. For guests bringing furry companions, there is also a convenient outdoor dog wash, perfect after countryside walks or muddy adventures.
Whether you're curling up by the fire, soaking in a vintage bath, or stargazing in the garden, this cottage is more than a place to stay- it's an experience to remember.
