Cosy Cottage in our Garden

It took us a while to find this place, and it is too good not to share! So please feel welcome to come and spend some time unwinding and relaxing in a safe and friendly environment. Our house is on the edge of a small village in the heart of a dairy farming community. We overlook Lake Mjøsa on the sunny side of the valley. In our large garden you will find this cosy cottage, a recent conversion from a workshop and storage outhouse. We have underfloor heating in the main room and bathroom. The furnishings are quite Scandanavian which gives a peaceful uncluttered feel with lots of painted wood and simple elegant decor. Plenty of parking, access to a large garden and good walking and cross country skiing from the garden gate. We live in the main house, enjoy having visitors and are always try to ensure our guets are happy. We have ample parking and a good sized garden with several places to sit or lounge. Badminton, archery, croquet, bowls and gardening is available if you want something to do...... We live in the main house, usually just the two of us, but with the occasional visit from our son or family from the UK. Jeanne likes to make sure that all our guests fell welcome and cared for. Make yourself at home in the cottage and finish that book or painting. We live in a quiet, peaceful, rural village, surrounded by farmland and trees with a 20 mile view down lake Mjøsa. We get about the same rainfall as Kent, but much less humidity. The air feels fresh all the time. Artists and photographers like the strong colours that our clear air provides. We get very few mosquitos here, and most insects are kept to a minimum by the harsh winters. If you are lucky you might see moose, roe, fox, badger and even lynx. Keep your eyes open when driving or walking anywhere. If you are interested in sight-seeing, then you must have a car. It is too difficult and expensive to get around any other way. From November to April, you will need winter tyres, for we do not expect to see the tarmac on local roads for at least 4 months per year. Main roads are kept clear, and driving is much easier than one would believe. There are only a handful of days in the winter when conditions are tricky. Summer driving is a doddle. The roads are uncrowded and nice and wide. 50mph speed limits are normal. Signposting is good - but watch the priority from the right when not on a main road - even some locals get that one wrong. We have recently started a rental business, delivering hot tubs to mountain cabins etc. for short-term hires. We will often have a tub available for our guests, and since there is minimum work to set one up at home, you may hire a tub for your exclusive use for 250kr per day, without having to pay the normal set-up charge. Please order it in good time, because the water takes two days to heat up to a delightful 38°C.
