Summary:
This cottage in Upper Vobster is a beautifully converted quarry building crafted from local stone. Nestled in a remote countryside setting, it offers stunning views & easy access to footpaths.

The Space:
The cottage sleeps up to 3 adults with a king size bed and sofa bed, though please be aware they are in the same room. The sofa bed is a small double (4ft wide) so could sleep 2 guests, but it would be a squeeze so it is not recommended. However, if you are desperate, we are happy to take requests. Please note, the sofa bed is only available on request and there is a £20 fee.
There is parking outside the barn for 2 vehicles of up to van size. Larger vehicles such as trucks, flatbeds, lorries or other machinery equipment aren't permitted.
