Accessibility
We are very sorry but our cottage has too many different levels, steps etc to be suitable for people with mobility problems.
Outside
The stone terrace outside the house with small table and chairs is the ideal spot for enjoying the view and a glass of wine. A more ample outside eating and barbecue area exists under the shade of the trees to the west of the house. A little path leads up from there to the higher part of the garden where there is another siting area and a door leading to the mezzanine.
