The space
Nestled into the hillside and surrounded by fields, The Wheelhouse sleeps up to 4 guests and one well-behaved dog, with beautiful views and a peaceful, rural setting.
The Wheelhouse is 'semi-detached' and is fully self-contained with a private entrance, private garden and no shared spaces.
The open-plan living space includes a newly fitted kitchen with dishwasher and a farmhouse dining table. We provide tea, coffee, hot chocolate, milk, sugar and basic cooking essentials (oil, salt and pepper). Double doors open onto the private garden, with beautiful views for al fresco dining.
The cosy sitting area has two comfortable sofas, smart TV and a selection of books and games. Free guest Wifi is available (speed can vary due to our rural location).
Underfloor heating runs throughout, and Pawsafe non-slip flooring helps keep both you and your dog comfortable after a day outdoors.
A separate utility area includes a washer-dryer, iron and ironing board, plus a Mud Daddy for muddy paws, boots or bikes. Laundry and dishwasher supplies are provided.
The bathroom features a freestanding bath, separate shower, heated towel rail, toiletries and fluffy white towels.
You can choose between two bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, cosy bedding and lovely views.
Guest access
You will have:
• A private entrance
• Your own enclosed garden area with seating for outdoor dining or a sunset drink
• A dedicated gravel parking space for one car (additional parking available on request)
The garden is newly created and still being planted, but already offers a peaceful space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. You’ll often see sheep or cattle grazing nearby, along with local wildlife including hares, deer, foxes, buzzards and kites.
If steps from the parking area are a concern, please let us know — we can offer an alternative parking option.
Other things to note
• Suitable for adults and older children (12+)
• Maximum occupancy: 4 guests
• We’ll ask for guest names at booking
• A car is recommended due to our rural location
• One responsibly managed dog is welcome
The garden is enclosed but not guaranteed to be escape-proof. Livestock are present in neighbouring fields, so dogs must be supervised at all times and kept from chasing or barking at animals. Dogs likely to jump fencing should be kept on lead.
The property is supplied by a private water source, which is filtered and sterilised on site.
A Ring doorbell is in place at the front door for security.
