The first double bedroom is located on the first floor accessed via the staircase from the centre of the cottage and has an en-suite shower room. The second double bedroom is located via the second staircase and has a separate family bathroom.
Off road parking is available. The property is located on a country road so there may be some road noise at times.

The cottage is as described on listing. very quaint and well presented. lots of room, seating and cushions. We had an elderly person with us and the stairs were a bit steep, as you may expect in a country cottage. The host was very accommodating with our requests, which was very much appreciated. The cottage was only 5mins away from a wedding venue we attended in Kelverdon. Would love to visit again and do a bit of sight seeing.
