The Cottage



Westgate Lodge is entered from the cottage’s shingle driveway and accessed via an iron gate through the back of the property. Stepping inside the property you’ll discover the large kitchen with breakfast bar, the lounge, and the dining room – you’ll also find a downstairs cloakroom for your convenience.
Venturing upstairs via the winding staircase you will find three characterful bedrooms; comprising of a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, the stunning master bedroom, and a third bedroom featuring handcrafted adult sized bunkbeds. The master bathroom is also located here. All of the rooms have solid oak ledge and brace doors
Please note that due to the historic nature of this charming cottage there are some narrow doors and a steep staircase which may not be suitable for people with mobility problems.
