The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for preparing favourite meals, while the dining table is perfectly positioned for unhurried dinners and long conversations.

The king-size bedroom offers a peaceful place to rest, dressed with soft furnishings and gentle lighting to help you drift off with ease. Completing the interior is a sleek shower room featuring a walk-in shower and heated towel rail, ideal for a chilled start to the day.
