The bedrooms are situated at the east and west gable of the cottage to enable privacy in the evenings. There is a choice of a twin bedroom with an en-suite spacious walk in wet room power shower or a King-size bedroom with an en-suite bath and shower room. Both bathrooms are finished with travertine gloss floor and wall tiles. Each bedroom has a glass patio door leading to the front patio garden and barbecue area.
