The rustic retreat has gorgeous, homely interiors completed with wooden furniture and great attention to detail to make sure you have everything you need for a relaxing stay. Step into the main space, where there’s a double bed at one end (with space to store your bags underneath), a dining table and chairs for romantic meals in, and a TV on the wall so you can catch your favourite shows.
