This quirky small cottage with cosy interiors boasting an open fire, charming bedrooms in the eaves and exposed stonework is an excellent dog-friendly base for a small family or couple seeking a countryside getaway.

Continue into the compact kitchen/diner which contains a dining table for four and a fitted ‘L’-shaped kitchen unit with wooden cabinets and dark surface tops. Also on the ground floor is a family bathroom, a utility room, and a double bedroom. Upstairs, are two cosy single bedrooms with sloped wooden-panelled ceilings. Outside, you’ll find a partially enclosed garden with mountain views, a patio and furniture.
