This is by no means a humble cottage. The wooden Gatehouse has a great rustic feel with all the mod cons of a modern apartment - whitewashed plaster gives the bedrooms a feeling of sweet freshness, skylights let in lots of natural light, the beds are very comfortable and the linen is excellent. The modern kitchen opens onto the living room which features a tv loaded with movies. The outdoor toilet takes me back to the farm - but this one is clean and airy with a flush toilet. The tiled bathroom has an exceptional hot shower and there is an outdoor barbecue area for hot summer nights.
My favourite little thing was the low wooden barn door that takes you out into the backyard -its straight out of Lord of the Rings - a Hobbit Gatehouse!
