Everyone loves Brook Cottage! We are often told its the best cottage people have ever stayed in! Originally 2 cottages it retains 2 sitting rooms so the children can have their own 'snug' for playing games or watching TV. The large sitting room has exposed beams and comfortable sofas plus rocking chair around the inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The kitchen is very well equipped with dishwasher and washer/dryer so self catering is no chore. It leads out into the enclosed yard where children or dogs can be safe or barbecues can be served after a day out by the sea. The lockable shed has barbecue, garden furniture, wood and room for bikes too. The spacious master bedroom has double bed, folding bed and still room for the cot. There is a wash basin and en suite shower room. Tilly's room is twin bedded with bathroom next door. At the other end of the cottage, accessed by a separate open plan staircase, is the 'cow room', twin bedded room with en suite shower and animal murals.

Accommodation
| Bedrooms: | The master bedroom is very large with a high vaulted ceiling and ancient beams; it is a delight to wake up to in the mornings. The two windows are deep set into the walls but the morning sun comes flooding in. The room is prettily decorated with stencilling along the beams and several original paintings. It has beautiful bedding (duvet). There is a washbasin in the room and ensuite shower room. The room is still large enough for the folding bed and cot.
Tilly's room has a high vaulted ceiling and special cupboard for the locking away of valuables. There is ample hanging space and shelves. Tilly's room is next to the attractively tiled bathroom.
The cow room is so called because it is delightfully decorated with murals of characters from Usborne children's books. It has its own washbasin and ensuite shower room.

Notes on accommodation
You enter the cottage directly into the living room and immediately you are thrilled by the ancient beams, the inglenook fireplace with its wood burning stove and the attractive décor. The comfort of the sofas guarantees a warm welcome after a day out. The stereo system is in this room and there is a digital TV. The living room, which is open plan to the kitchen and to the staircase, has an extending dining table which seats up to 8 people. We have had family gatherings of 10 people, bringing the kitchen table through.The windows are deep set into the thick walls and one window sill doubles as extra seating. Unusually, there is an additional living room (the snug) with sofa bed, chair and bean bags. The video and DVD are in this room making it the ideal place for the children to gather and play games. There are videos, DVDs, games and books stored here. Lovely oriental rugs and a large throw add to the warmth and comfort of this room which has a rich and vibrant colour scheme.
