Shy Cottage is a stand alone 1890's settlers cottage, nestled at the back of our property, which allows for privacy and peace and quiet. Shy Cottage was moved onto the section in 2002 and was renovated and insulated so now is cosy, warm and romantic. There is a full kitchen with a dining area and lounge with a wood burner. Off the comfortable bedroom is a lovely bathroom with a claw foot bath and separate shower. Shy Studio is cosy peaceful space at the rear of our 1890's settlers cottage. It has a separate entrance and is surrounded by gardens which allow for privacy and peace and quiet. You are self contained in a lovely light airy room with a comfy bed, sitting and dining area with your own kitchenette
Ian and I live on site at a separate house at the front of the property so are on hand if you need us. We will say hi when you arrive but will leave you to enjoy your stay in peace.
