The Coach House — Property 2468

Stunning 4* romantic retreat for two
The original coach house to the main house (c.1750) has fabulous views over the valley and has been restored to a high standard retaining many original features (ETB rated 4*). There is a double height sitting room with dining area, exposed original roof timbers and lintels. The lovely galleried bedroom has a king sized bed, chest of drawers, built in wardrobe and cupboards and space for a cot (there is an ingenious system which enables you to curtain off the cot area so as not to wake the baby). There is a fully equipped separate kitchen and an impressive slate and glass wet room with huge shower area. Downstairs, the flooring is teak with rugs; upstairs, the bedroom is carpeted for comfort. Outside the Coach House has a private garden with terrace and lawn areas, a built-in barbeque and hardwood furniture. The Coach House has ample parking for 2 cars a short distance from its garden. Very baby-friendly, we can provide most baby equipment. New for 2007: Adventure Playground for kids
