Gun Cottage One double bedroom plus a small bunk bed room

Gun Cottage is the old 1720’s farm worker's cottage situated at the end of the Orchard. It retains all of its original simple homeliness and charm.

Downstairs:

  • Lovely sunny room with three windows on two sides and a beautiful open log fire with an antique pine ‘surround’ reaching to the ceiling, winding staircase behind a cupboard door leads up to two bedrooms and a bathroom.
  • Handmade kitchen from reclaimed oak and tile, with original cupboards, Belfast sink, gas hobs and a modern electric oven / grill and air extractor.
  • Original pine farmhouse kitchen table with charming old lace tablecloth.
  • Cosy sofa, easy chair and antique Kelim rug in front of fireplace.
  • TV & Video player, CD / radio / cassette sound system, selection of CDs and tapes as well as books and games all hidden in a cupboard.
  • Handmade terracotta tiled floor.

Upstairs:

  • Main bedroom with pretty iron double bed, which we rescued from under the vegetable patch and which turned out to be nearly as old as the cottage. Restored to its former glory it looks right at home in the main bedroom. This bedroom is light and airy and is easily large enough to include a child’s cot.
  • Small second bedroom with full single sized bunk beds.
  • Newly made bathroom with a spacious shower.
  • Ancient broad-cut Elm wood floor.

 

General Features:
