The Little House

The house dates from 1870 and now has some modern additions including the beautiful barn/living/dining room, linked to the kitchen by a passage with garden views. Here you’ll find original beams and stone work, solid wood floors (underheated) and a wood-burning stove – a great spot to escape from those in the sitting room which has the TV.

Plenty of room in the well-equipped kitchen means everyone can help, or sit and chat. You’re left some basics and a bottle of wine. Bedrooms, one on the ground floor and two upstairs, have lovely linen bedding, gentle earthy colours, green views. Bathrooms are perfectly tiled and stylish.

On balmy days you’ll be enjoying the large grassy garden, perfect for games or letting your dog run about. The closest pub is the 350-year-old Horse Guards Inn in Tillington (two miles) for fabulous food and the best Sunday roast in the area. Walks from the house will be sublime, the coast is 35 minutes.
