Byre Cottage Is the latest conversion we did, only completed in 2005 so everything is still quite new, yet it retains the old world charm with the exposed stonework and beams. The kitchen is more modern in the Byre, and "open plan" to the lounge, great for a larger groups. There is a large walk in shower in the bathroom but no bath.   A spacious double bedroom where a cot or Z bed can be provided and a smaller twin bedded room. Archway Cottage Is probably more suited for families with younger children with a bath and shower option and a separate kitchen where a stair gate can be placed in the doorway to keep little fingers away from hot things or cupboards.  Similarly for dogs, the kitchen floor is a darker colour and the better place for a wet dog to dry. Archway of course has the huge archway windows front and back in the lounge giving you superb views especially from the back, and flooding the room with light. A spacious double room and a spacious twin bedded room where a cot or Z bed can be accommodated in either. And to minimize washing up - a dishwasher!
