The family bathroom has a lovely free-standing bath, separate shower cubicle, and WC.

Outside, there is an elevated patio area, with seating and a BBQ, to the front of the property, which extends down to a lawn with beautiful far-reaching views to the sea. Guests are also able to explore parts of the farm, and of course, have access to the indoor heated swimming pool (private sessions can be arranged on arrival).
