There are large, traditional style windows in each room, as well as two ten pane doors, which open out into the courtyard, perfect for a morning coffee and al fresco dining. The light in the cosy cottage is truly incredible. The property also has a mezzanine level, accessed via a built in ladder, for extra storage, or as the owners currently use it for, extra beds.
