From the courtyard, where you can park right outside the property, you enter the hallway with space for boots and coats. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need including a washer/dryer, fridge with ice compartment and a view over the cobbled courtyard at the front. The shower room has a large walk in shower, sink and w.c, underfloor heating and heated towel rail; warm and cosy with plenty of space to warm your towels.  The bedroom is very pretty and romantic with a high ceiling, wardrobe, chest of drawers and double bed.  The living-dining room looks out over the courtyard and has a solid wood floor, a leather sofa, separate chair, flat screen tv with DVD player and electric fire inset.  There is also a dining table and chairs to one side.  Above the living room is the old hayloft, with a reclining armchair next to the window providing a lovely space to relax and read. The Old Dairy has its own slate bench overlooking the courtyard and guests can also use the shared riverside garden just across the road, with seating overlooking the river. Parking for one car directly outside.  One well behaved dog welcome.
