The cottages can either be rented individually, or as a whole site booking with up to four cottages and exclusive use of the site facilities.

Large traditional French kitchen, with dining table and door to outside dining terrace area overlooking the grounds and garden. Large living space, with wood burner and an additional dining area can be set up if needed. Door to outside dining terrace.

Every day you could wake up to the sound of birdsong, a running stream and hear the local church bells in the distance.

My work: Cottage rental
I spend too much time: Thinking about the next Fairy door!
I love live music and festivals and anything magical. I used to work in education, specifically in development of Early Years education. My partner, Ian, is a musician and we both worked in the public sector; together we have worked hard to use our past skills to build a beautiful and welcoming place for families and friends to spend time together.
