“We’ve lived and worked in the area for the past 10 years and since my husband is a mad-keen fly fisherman, he wanted to buy a house with private fishing rights – and this is it! We have spent most of our working lives in hospitality, also running a wedding venue not far from here. The cottage is everything we have learnt guests want and need to relax!” Owner, Jemma
She loves
“Sitting on the decking at the back of the house, watching the sunset over the hills and the bats come out at dusk.”
We love
Spending all day outside then having a long soak in the enormous walk-in walk-out shower.
You may not love
The owner’s house is next door, but the cottage is totally private. You’ll need a car to get around.
Sustainability.
All cleaning products are eco-friendly. Water comes from their own borehole (and is delicious!).
