From here, make your way into the country-style kitchen/diner, where the large dining table and bench seating means the whole group can gather together for meals, admiring the garden and valley views from the large picture window, while the fully-fitted kitchen showcases granite worktops, a traditional Aga cooker, plus an additional contemporary cooker, so you can create a culinary feast with plenty of space and appliances at your disposal.
