The space
The Farm has been in the family for 3 generations and The Bee House was a fond name for the building where our Grandfather kept his Bee Keeping supplies. Although completely 'Bee Free' now, we kept the name and tradition behind this 2015 renovated self catering cottage.

The 3 separate bedrooms contain a king, double and twin beds.

One bathroom contains a walk in shower and the other a bath with overhead shower.
The lounge and kitchen diner look directly over the view, with double glazed doors that open onto the veranda.

The cottage is entirely self- contained. It is fully equipped with kitchen equipment, a fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave. Linens are provided and hopefully everything and anything else you may need. We want you to feel that it's a home away from home!

WiFi access has very good access and speed with fibre broadband.

The property also has a gas barbecue on site and garden furniture to relax in and enjoy the view.

As a bonus the property is supplied with its own spring water, pumped at source from our own natural spring. It is filtered and run over ultraviolet light for your safety and to ensure it is safe to drink direct from the tap.
Enjoy!

We are in the garden next door (completely detached).. so will be there to check you in if required or answer any questions, otherwise you are entirely self contained.
