As you turn into the drive, there's no doubt that Hill View Rise provides a wow factor, with its impressively high front elevation. This is a modern barn conversion that has retained the original design, with its typical outer metal frame, but has a central wood-clad core to soften and add warmth. The first-floor covered balcony simply invites you up to go and enjoy the view - and you won't be disappointed.

This reverse-living holiday home has two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground floor, plus a handy utility room. On the first floor is the kitchen-dining room - with access to the covered balcony through French windows - a living room with a woodburning stove, and two spacious ensuite double bedrooms (each can be made up as a super-king size double or twin). All the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, making this a light and bright retreat with a lovely view from every room. The bedroom flexibility, space and modern conveniences make this a great base for walkers, an extended family, a wedding group or a friends' get-together.

To the far side of Hill View Rise is a large lawned garden with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside, offering the chance to see stunning sunsets. Guests are provided with a picnic table and bench set and a charcoal BBQ. The house shares a gravel drive with its sister property - Ledge View - but has its own carport (for two cars) and a total dedicated parking area big enough for five cars.

*Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.
