Kitchen

Each cottage has an electric double oven cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, food processor, an excellent range of cooking equipment, crockery and glassware. And we try to make sure there are plenty of extra useful utensils you cannot think you will need until the moment you do need them. The separate utility room has a washing machine, tumble drier and ironing facilities. This open plan living room area has the kitchen separated from the dining area by a breakfast bar.

Bedrooms

There are two bedrooms, a double room, and a twin room and two bathrooms on the ground floor and a twin bedroom with its own bathroom on the first floor. The double room with a king size bed has an en-suite shower wet room with a wheeled shower chair or a perching stool also available if needed. The twin room on the ground floor has an adjacent bathroom with a shower over the bath. Sheets, duvets with covers and pillows with cases are provided, as are extra duvets and pillows should you need them. We do provide an alarm clock in case you have to be up and about at a certain time but for those of you who have time to enjoy the peace and quiet, it is very easy to oversleep here at Gorwell before you wake up to the beautiful countryside. The double room also has a flat screen tv for those who like to snuggle under the duvet to watch a good film or would prefer to watch something in the comfort of their own room.

A cot, highchair and a stair gate are also provided in the cottage but we do ask guests to provide their own cot bedding.

The cottage is centrally heated and has a log burner in the inglenook in the living room which is ideal for cosy evenings in the cooler weather.
