We are in a very pretty spot with lots to do in the surrounding area inc. walking/outdoor activities, cultural centres, pretty towns and dramatic scenery, see listing for more. Tyshon Jacob Farm is a uniquie property away from anywhere with 2 bedrooms and a large characterful sitting room with wood burning stove and panoramic views across the valley. We have a conservatory entrance which a cozy sitting area with a fantastic view looks down the valley and out across to the next mountain. You then walk through to another lobby area which has a desk and further seating and can be used as a work/office area. There are 2 double bedrooms off this lobby area. Each bedroom has a double bed that can be split in to two and one of bedrooms has an additional 2 pull out beds. There is also a sofa bed in the sitting room. The first bedroom which we call Strawberry has an en-suit bath room, the second bedroom, Honeysuckle, has an en-shower room. There is also a huge stand alone family bathroom with a door out to a huge terrace and double aspect windows with views right down the valley.
