On the first floor there is a spacious king-size double bedroom, plus a twin bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Also on the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen, housing a range of appliances so you can easily cook up a storm for the whole family, and boasting a washing machine for your comfort.
