This fabulous cottage, in the quaint hamlet of Hackthorpe, is an ideal base for large family gatherings or holidays with friends.

The stylish cottage has been thoughtfully decorated, carefully combining contemporary design with rustic original features. At the heart of the home is a super cosy lounge, with fabulous sofas to sink into, an exposed beam running across the ceiling and a crackling wood burner set in an elegant ornamental fireplace. Relax here in front of the TV or snuggle up in the window seat with your favourite book. The beautiful farmhouse style kitchen is a real treat to cook in, with a range style oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, and impressive Belfast sink overlooking the garden.
