Description
Call it 'glamping', call it 'glamavanning' - whatever the term, this is no ordinary holiday cottage.
Huge, it is not, but tucked into a quiet corner of this coastal farm steading, this cannily renovated couple's retreat - the former Blacksmith's forge - has charm, character and romance in spade-loads.
This intimate hideaway, bijou in style, incorporates carefully thought out space-saving design, managing to offer full kitchen facilities, a king-sized bed, bathroom and log burner with cosy seating. With characterful features reminiscent of its past, this old stone single-storey cottage has a vaulted ceiling and exposed roof trusses which give the place height and a feeling of spaciousness despite its cosy proportions. Its king size bed is snuggled into an alcove off the lounge area, there’s a separate bathroom, a small dining table and a generous private garden with countryside views. It may be small, but it is big on detail, offering couples or solo travellers a unique stay.

Candid Comments
This is an old forge with all the quirkiness of an old building. Make no mistake, the space is compact (limited/hardly any storage space for personal items so travel light), the space on either side of the bed is tight, but it's well-planned and full of cosy character. The space is more suitable for two smaller dogs. The laundry facilities are not in the cottage itself but in the adjacent stone outbuilding shared with a neighbouring cottage. If you like space then this cottage isn't for you!
