Welcome In!
To create a welcoming and memorable luxury holiday home rental, Jacquie, the owner, endeavours to think of everything to help your holiday run smoothly, to ensure a really warm welcome and truly personal service.
The property is approached from a private car parking area where there is ample space for up to 5 cars and a double garage. From the porch, a solid oak front door welcomes you to the entrance hall with slate floor, coat hooks and downstairs WC.
To the right, three steps to a delightful, spacious living room with a view of fields leading down to the coast and across the sea to Lundy Island. A cosy wood burning stove adds a warm glow in winter; Comfortable leather sofas in cream and dark brown and a modern TV with Freeview, video, DVD and music station complete the room.
French doors open onto the raised patio and private lawn in the back garden beyond which is a full sized tennis court.
Two further rooms lead from the living room. A small second living/child friendly room equipped with toys, children’s books and a play-station makes a great child/teenage escape zone or simply the ideal place to de-clutter the rest of the house from toys and noisy young things!
A spacious games room with beautiful solid oak floor links the conservatory with the lounge. Complete with pool table, card table, keyboard and a separate jigsaw puzzle/games table and chairs. You will also find puzzles and games for all ages plus a small library which includes maps, reference and historical books about the area.
A kitchen for sociable chefs
To the left of the entrance hall a huge kitchen will delight even the most demanding chef. Well-equipped with two fridges; two large ovens; both induction and gas hobs; two sinks and a microwave, all arranged around a large central island, Chef’s need not cook alone. An additional sofa to one side, loads of natural light and a kitchen radio and CD player creates a very sociable area to cook. When the knives are sharp and the drinks are chilled, how can preparing a feast be a chore even on holiday?
A utility room with rear door, large Belfast sink, washing machine, tumble drier and a separate larder with an additional fridge and freezer add to the kitchen’s superb facilities.
Glass double doors lead from the kitchen to a large conservatory used as a dining room seating 10 with ease, 12 with a squeeze. Modern floor lights illuminate the conservatory’s slate floor; the moon and stars shine down from above to create the perfect ambience for a special feast! Patio doors lead down two more steps to the outdoor seating/eating/barbequing area for those guests who prefer to eat alfresco while enjoying frequently spectacular sunsets over the sea.
