Welcome to our private, open-plan garden cottage with mountain views and an apple orchard right outside your door. This cozy one-bedroom cottage features a comfortable king-size bed, a lounge area, a small dining table with two chairs, and a Nespresso coffee and tea station with a mini fridge. Please note there is no full kitchen, but a convenient kitchenette is available, equipped with a microwave, air fryer, crockery, and cutlery, perfect for preparing light meals and snacks.. The separate bathroom includes a large hot shower, toilet, and basin. While there’s no kitchen, there are many lovely places to eat nearby, or you can purchase and enjoy a delicious homemade pasta or pizza, freshly prepared in the host’s kitchen and delivered to your cottage, perfectly paired with a bottle of wine. Ideal for solo travelers, couples, or participants in local cycle and running races. Perfect for a restful overnight stop or a peaceful weekend escape to the countryside.
As your host, I’m warm, welcoming, and always happy to share this beautiful valley with others. I love opening my home to guests and creating a space that feels both peaceful and personal. As a passionate foodie and homemaker, I take great pleasure in offering little touches that make your stay extra comfortable, whether it's a cosy setting, a delicious meal, or helpful local tips. I look forward to making your visit both memorable and relaxed.
