A restored original farmhouse

This cottage is the original farmhouse on the property and embodies over two hundred years of history. The last farming family to occupy this cottage did all of their cooking over the open fire, carried their water from the well, read by oil lamps and candles and used an outside loo.

Fortunately for guests, running water and electricity have been installed, cooking is with gas and the two toilets meet modern standards.
