The living room looks out over a meadow. The kitchen has what you need. The bedroom is a good size with a double bed and an en-suite bathroom.

You've got your own garden area. You'll see the owner's chickens wandering about, and there are pigs in the field beyond. Past the cottage there's a camping field you can use for a picnic, the sunsets there are good.
