INSIDE

This quaint little cottage is furnished well. The four bedrooms plus the larger family bathroom are all on the first floor. The open plan living area with the kitchen, lounge and diner are all on the ground floor. There is wifi throughout the accommodation and there is a laundry room and a games room for shared use with the neighbouring property. The large lounge area is divided from the kitchen and dining space using a difference in flooring choice. Soft plush carpet characterizes the living areas, whilst tiled flooring is used for the kitchen. Creams and caramels dominate the palette with a splash of green for the soft furnishings. Black and white prints decorate the walls of this section and make it a comfortable and welcoming room for nibbles and bubbles while you plan the days ahead of you. A long wooden table takes up the left-over space in the kitchen, lending itself perfectly to inviting a chef to cook up at least one delicious meal for you in house while you enjoy games and other fun (maybe even a murder mystery night or escape room event?). This accommodation really makes great use of having beds that can be doubles or split into singles to ensure everyone can have their own bed if required and not having to share as three of the four bedrooms offer this option. The kitchen is beautifully finished in a contemporary style with integrated appliances and a black worktop. The stone look tiles beautifully fit in with the style of the cottage, where stone walls and stone look tiles are chosen throughout to bring out the farmhouse chic of the property. Lastly a Games room is available for your shared use and includes Pool tables, table football and table tennis.

The Kitchen

There is an integrated fridge freezer and all the crockery, plates, pans and glassware you will need for your stay. There is a kettle, toaster, dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave all positioned on the countertop for ease of use. For a room that gets the most traffic, the layout of everything and the dining table right there means it won’t feel crowded at breakfast time when everyone is fulfilling their morning requirements of coffee, tea, toast or bacon sandwiches.

Games Room

The Paddock Two also benefits from having access to a well-stocked games room. Your group can enjoy Snooker, Pool, Billiards, Table Tennis, Table Football and Air Hockey.

Outside & The Hot tub

There are two fire pits within the enclosed gardens of this lovely property. There is garden furniture decorating the patio decking and a feature chiminea should you need it in the evenings. The charming hot tub is available for your use year-round – laze around and enjoy some bubbles in the sun, or sit back and watch the starlit sky above with an uninterrupted view of the night sky. There is a lovely, grassed area for ball games or other play and a wooden fence around the back purely to stop any sheep finding there way onto the grounds! This is a quiet and peaceful area, except for the odd tractor or other farm traffic coming to or from the neighbouring farm, you shouldn’t be bothered by any other loud noise or interruptions.
