    Beautiful house with everything you would need available. Very private. Lot of space in and around the house inclusive the extra sleeping room in the back of the garden, which effectively is a studio on its own with its own patio. Everything there...

Squirrel cottage is a cute and homely thatch house with loads of charm and is situated within walking distance of the village centre. It has a small private garden and pool. The cottage has a main bedroom en site and is a part of the main cottage. A completely separate second bedroom, also en suite, is situated apart from the main cottage and is within the garden setting. The second bedroom is completely annexed from the other bedroom. Perfect for couples travelling together but not suitable for children who need two be near their parents.
I enjoy meeting ew people and welcoming them to my town
Quiet and close to the village centre
