The original beams have been exposed within a charming yet modern L-shaped open plan living space. The fully equipped kitchen and eating area offers wonderful entertaining opportunities. The interior design is contemporary with a Shabby Chic/Scandi influence. There are two comfortable bedrooms; one is ensuite, the other is a smaller bunk room with a shower room next to it. The beds are all of the highest quality, with new Egyptian cotton linen and towels provided. Twin beds can be offered in the main double bedroom instead of the Kingsized double, if required. The entrance is on the opposite side of the property to the main house, so the gite is private and self-contained. There is wifi throughout and the wood burning stove keeps the place very warm!
