With ample space for eight guests across four cosy bedrooms, the elegantly arranged and thoughtfully updated property lies at the heart of Stoney Middleton, an idyllic village within easy reach of many of the area's most popular attractions. Full of character and charm, this tastefully decorated and stylishly furnished hideaway features original timber beams, exposed stonework and flagstone flooring, making it a relaxing retreat for walkers, hikers, cyclists and nature enthusiasts discovering the region's breathtaking countryside.
Entering the cottage, you will be greeted by a generous hallway with a double-height ceiling and characterful stonework, which leads through to a bright, delicately decorated lounge with a Smart TV, plush seating and patio doors allowing light to stream in. Across the hall, the beautifully arranged kitchen/diner has a central farmhouse-style dining table and ample equipment for family get-togethers. Upstairs, you will find a refreshing bathroom and a choice of four bright and airy bedrooms, each with skylights set in low, sloping ceilings: there are two cheery doubles, a sweet twin and an elegant en-suite king-size room. Outside, the peaceful patio and garden are enclosed by a low wall, providing a delightful space for dining alfresco and taking in the quiet surroundings.
