Cowmire Hall Bothy

A farm holiday flat for two, and romantic hideaway in the lovely Winster valley.

Accommodation: A delightful, first-floor holiday flat in a converted loft, consisting of a hall, large living-room/kitchen open to the roof-space with a gallery or sleeping-platform above the kitchen area; shower-room and twin-bedroom. The kitchen is well-equipped, with an oil-fired Raeburn cooker that also provides hot water and central heating. There is also a wood stove (with a supply of dry logs), a television set with DVD player, and good quality furniture (but no telephone, though ours may be used in emergencies, if you have no mobile). Fuel, bed-linen and towels are included.

The flat is suitable for two people to sleep but is equipped for six people to eat. (There are also two beds on the gallery, with ladder access, which may be used at your own risk for children over eight or for your occasional athletic guests; bed-linen extra.)

There is a utility room on the ground floor (separate entrance) with a sink, washing-machine, tumble-drier and iron, a second loo, and space for boots, bicycles etc. (The rest of the ground floor is taken up by the cellar where Cowmire Hall Damson Gin is made.) There is a small outside sitting area with table and barbecue.

The flat looks out to the south over a farm-yard to Cowmire Hall - a C16 pele tower extended in the late C17, where the owners, Oliver and Victoria Barratt live - its garden and the Winster Valley. To the north the view is of a rocky field. There is not normally any livestock in this farm-yard, though tractors come and go. Guests may park cars here.
