Pretty Shillings cottage sleeps two plus a cot. It has exposed beams and a charming character. A field away from the nearest country lane, it is set within several acres of lovely, well tended gardens, a tranquil orchard and traditional meadows with a large pond and with extensive views across the peaceful valley towards the distant hills. This is a haven for wildlife, such as roe deer, heron, ducks, woodpeckers, foxes, badgers, buzzards and sparrow hawks.

Recently finished to a very high standard, the cosy cottage has full central heating. The bedroom, has a brass super king size bed with feather duvet and pure white linen. From a comfortable sofa you can enjoy TV, DVD or digital radio or just gaze out over the pastoral view through the French windows. These open onto a large balcony, which is entwined with scented roses, honeysuckle and clematis. A table and chairs, for al fresco dining, are under the leaves of a walnut tree. Steps from the balcony lead to a paved terrace and a heated swimming pool. The terrace has borders of roses, honeysuckle, daphne, lavender and thyme. In a sheltered corner is the perfect suntrap, a glass topped table with a parasol for shade and reclining chairs where you can watch the white doves fly to and from their dovecote. On the lawns, you can relax and enjoy the sunshine on fully reclining teak loungers. The kitchen with dining table and chairs is fully equipped and fitted with solid ash worktops. There is a power shower and separate W.C. All towels are provided. The cottage has good mobile phone reception, free WIFI broadband internet and is non smoking.
