The dining table is in a vaulted alcove off the living room and has space to seat eight guests. The dining room furniture was designed by Stefan Bench of Pureform.

Gardens

The small terraced garden behind the cottage isn't particularly secluded but it's a great suntrap. There’s a gas-fired barbecue on the patio. The cottage is located on a semi-private road in the grounds of the Manor House Hotel.

Parking

There is private parking for two cars in the hotel car park near the cottage.
