All beds are from the Welsh company Alphabeds who use natural and organic materials in their mattresses and use wood from sustainable sources. Their beds are the most comfortable we have ever come across!! Duvets are all natural materials and bed linen and towels are organic cotton.

A view of the cottage through the apple treeGarden to the rear has a dry stone wall terrace for sitting to eat or relax, and a wildflower area which is a stunning array of colourful blooms through the spring and summer. In season the house will be decorated with flowers from the garden and visitors are welcome to pick and use herbs for cooking and teas. Apple trees below the terrace are grafted with many old varieties which can be picked throughout the autumn.
