opens into the main bathroom. The main bathroom has a slipper bath and has
pine wood panelling and celtic ironwork mirrors. We have planted and laid out the garden and it is looking good. It is a lovely cottage, we have put a huge amount of work and planning into it. The cottage will accommodate 6 people but it would be not be too big for less people.
