The Wing of Crosswoodhill Farmhouse

Sleeps up to 6 people ( 4 + 2 )

Attractively screened by dense rhododendron bushes and trees, Crosswoodhill farmhouse is situated well back and across the road from the farm buildings. Guests can relax in their garden and absorb the peaceful atmosphere after a day's touring or strenuous activity. Maybe dine alfresco, perhaps even barbecue with peat.

Layout:

Guests enter from their own garden at the rear of the farmhouse into their own two-storey home in the middle of the farmhouse. Downstairs is a well-equipped kitchen. Adjacent is a cosy living room for 4 / dining room for 6: the multi-fuel stove here burns home-produced peat, as well as coal and logs. Full oil-fired central heating.

A short flight of stairs leads up to the more traditional part of the house with old pine window panelling, working shutters and doors. A house of great character, guests remark on its lovely atmosphere. Leading off the passageway with views out over the lawn and trees are a double bedroom and a bedroom with adult-size bunk beds. The bathroom has a power shower over the bath. At the far end of the upstairs corridor is a spacious second living room with a sofa bed and double bed, heaped with floral cushions for daytime relaxation. Facing windows invite both morning and evening sunshine. The front-facing window can just be seen to the far left of the photograph. On request, we can supply a stairgate for toddlers for the foot of the stairs only.
