A warm rug lazes in front of the fireplace with its wood-burning stove (just begging to be lit and snuggled up in front of at the first opportunity!). Modern entertainment needs are catered for by a digital TV & DVD player.

Upstairs at Gardeners Cottage is the Victorian style bathroom – with WC and wash basin, with shower over the bath.
Both comfortable bedrooms upstairs at Gardeners Cottage feature reproduction Victorian style bedsteads – with a decadent King size in the master bedroom and two cosy twin beds in the second bedroom across the hall.
