the porch leads into a spacious, vibrant lounge featuring artwork, tv, high speed fibre broadband, comfortable sofas and arts and crafts chair, stripped wooden floors and rugs Double sofa bed. Log burner for use in the winter months (we'll provide a few logs, you can buy more).
a small hallway accesses 2 double bedrooms, simply decorated with interesting touches, one features a large built in wardrobe / storage area, a bookcase with a selection of books to buy / swap, the other was originally the artist's studio and has a painted floor, a 1950's cupboard and displays dozens of interesting works of art

there is no washing machine in the cottage as we thought a small dishwasher might be preferable to guests but we can do small amounts of laundry if you require it - just ask - or of course some hand washing can be done in the large belfast kitchen sink
