Welcome

The Dairy is a Barn conversion completed in 2017 and provides all of the accommodation on one level, with level access from the parking area to the entrance door. There are two double bedrooms (one with En-Suite Shower room) and one twin bedroom plus a family Bathroom. There is an open plan Lounge/Kitchen/Dining area with floor to ceiling windows to make the most of the panoramic views of the countryside, estuary views and distant sea views.

There is a large decking area with level access from the Lounge area and a shallow ramp down to the terraced lawn area.
