The ground floor of Darly Cottage is designed for effortless hosting and relaxation. Two inviting reception rooms straddle the main hall, offering the perfect balance of cosy and fun; sink into sumptuous cushions by the log burner for a snug evening in, or dive into the well-stocked games chest for some rainy-day entertainment.
At the heart of the home, a fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into a bright, airy conservatory. This beautiful dining space is perfectly laid out for family feasts and long breakfasts. For those who prefer to dine alfresco, double doors open directly onto a secluded courtyard, featuring BBQ facilities and comfortable outdoor seating for sun-drenched afternoons.

The first floor offers a collection of beautifully appointed spaces designed for ultimate relaxation. The spacious "Pink Room" features a luxurious king-sized bed and stunning views over the extensive private gardens.
A second charming double bedroom provides added privacy with its own modern en-suite, complete with a refreshing walk-in shower. For your convenience, dressing tables in both rooms are thoughtfully equipped with hairdryers and straighteners.
