The Cottage is just under the brow of a sunny south-facing hillside, up a 800 yards of bumpy country track through a little explored wooded valley. It is romantically swathed in Clematis & Wisteria and has an acre of woodland beyond the terraced garden about the cottage.

The coast & beaches are a short drive and there are lovely walks without crossing roads, from the front door. The garden is ideal for outdoor dining, snoozing in hammock, sunbathing or playing hide and seek. The garden is not enclosed and so small children would need to be supervised (as ever, but more so!).

The cottage is comfortably furnished and fully equipped. There is oil fired central heating and constant hot water. The sitting room has fireplace and there is a supply of logs provided. Secret Cottage is warm and dry benefiting from it's sunny position, wisely chosen centuries ago.

There are three bedrooms, reception with dining table, bathroom, kitchen with breakfast table. It sleeps 5/6 in two double bedrooms and a single (with 5ft pull out bed).

The view from the windows - fringed by leaves - is of uninterrupted countryside over the tops of mature trees in the valley below. A rare and lovely retreat.
