• Living room The Cottage’s living room is a modern space with a Bang & Olufsen TV, DVD, CD and Sky+. The doors of this former stable building open onto the sunny inner courtyard, while a wood-burning stove in the corner of the room make this the ideal cosy winter hideaway, too. The renovated barn adjacent to the Cottage – with its three sofas, wood-burning stove and Bang & Olufsen TV – can be used as a second living room. The Attic Suite’s living room has more of a rustic feel, and includes a feature fireplace and shaggy rug. Though positively pristine, it still screams luxury.
