A fine Charnwood wood burning stove offers you the comfort of a real fire on a cooler evening, whilst the bespoke lighting in the roof-space creates a true feeling of comfort and relaxation.
The mezzanine sleeping gallery is the perfect place to rest, with the noise of the sea floating in the bedside window as you sleep.
