The two cottages date back to the early 1700s and can be rented together for larger parties or separately. Built in a local stone, both cottages have a great deal of character and beautiful views over the river. They were both fully renovated three years ago in a traditional style, keeping all the original features including, beamed ceilings, stone walls and tiled and wooden floors.
Approached through a traditional stepped alleyway, both cottages have fully fitted kitchens with dishwasher, fridge and microwave and benefit from central heating and beautiful log fires for cooler days. Each cottage has a terrace with BBQ for lazy summer evenings to watch the sun go down after another wonderful day.
