You’ll also find a unique place to dine outdoors in the glass dining dome. Sitting alongside the hot tub in the enclosed, grassy garden, this feature adds to the charm of the outdoor space. Moving back indoors, pass through the Smart TV-equipped lounge to reach three luxurious bedrooms on the first floor. These include a king-size master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and served by the family bathroom, a double room and a welcoming twin bedroom.

Modern,spacious but homely. The most beautiful and well equipped home. Luxurious and private with stunning views where I watched the sun rise every morning from the lounge.
