Kestrel Cottage
|
|
Adjoining the main farmhouse and offering complete
privacy is Kestrel Cottage, aptly named because
of the family of kestrels nesting next door
during the spring and early summer.
We live in the farmhouse with our young family
and enjoy welcoming guests from all over the
world. One holidaymaker left a note in the guestbook
saying that we are "helpful yet unobtrusive
hosts" which is what we aim to be!

The cottage has a large spacious lounge with
a log fire, comfortable seating, bed settee, TV
& DVD player. We are happy to lend our DVDs and
basic satellite TV can be arranged on request.
There is a selection of books and games.

The kitchen has a cooker, microwave, separate
