Overview

Ducktails provides a relaxing home for both short breaks and longer holidays.The cottage was converted from an old forge and many of the original features have been retained, adding to its character. It is the middle of three cottages and has a pretty stream running in front of it, with a bridge for access. Ducktails has a lovely beamed sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace.This contains a woodburning stove, which makes it lovely and cosy in the winter. Plenty of logs are provided. There are also electric storage heaters both upstairs and downstairs.
Used by us as our own holiday and weekend cottage, Ducktails is furnished to a high standard and very well equipped. Everything in the cottage is new and the reclaimed pine furniture was made specially by a local craftsman.The whole cottage has been redecorated and recarpeted throughout. The kitchen has everything needed to prepare both cordon bleu meals and barbecues. It also has a full sized dishwasher.The bathroom, which is downstairs, has a wide bath with a shower above it. It also has a heater for those cold winter days.

The two bedrooms are upstairs. The master bedroom has a double bed, large chest of drawers, wardrobe cupboard and bedside table.The twin bedroom has two single beds, a chest of drawers and bedside table.

To the rear of the cottage there is a fully enclosed garden. It has a lawned area as well as a patio. Garden furniture and a barbecue are provided. The garden is very sheltered, totally private and a real sun trap.It provides a safe, child friendly environment as well as being secure for your dog.
