Squire Cottage is an old farmhouse built half in stone, half in timber and plaster. It sits at the top of a field looking down towards the River Redlake and the Dingle with its babbling brook and ancient wet woodland. The cottage sleeps four people comfortably in two bedrooms, and has a sofa bed downstairs. The front door opens onto one open space with a large inglenook fireplace complete with bread oven, dominating the ‘living’ end of the room. Here you can sit around the open fire telling stories, reading, listening to music or watching television. At the other end, there is a fully equipped kitchen with hand built oak units and a large refectory table. There is also a small cloakroom with lavatory and washbasin and room for wellies and boots.

Wooden stairs (mind your head and don’t be distracted by the view through the window) lead up to a spacious landing and to one room with two single beds, the bathroom and the double bedroom with a magnificent chimneybreast. The cottage keeps it’s ancient authenticity and rural feel by retaining the old beams complete with redundant peg holes through which the children can spy on their parents! New oak flooring with rugs and mats adds to the cosy and comfortable feel of the place; though watch your heads, some of the doorways are very low.

There is central heating and hot water provided by an oil-fired boiler. Bed linen and towels are included in the price as are logs for the fire and all the electricity and there is a telephone in the farmhouse should you need to use one. A cot is available and children and pets are welcome.
