Downstairs, beneath the lounge, is a spacious newly refurbished bedroom (17.5m²). It features a king-size bed with bedside lighting, a large wardrobe, and a desk, with ample additional space that can easily accommodate a child’s sleeping area. Located directly opposite the second bathroom, which boasts a superb shower and vibrant décor, this layout is ideal for a couple travelling with a young child.

This self-contained space allows for privacy from the rest of the house and includes its own bathroom with built-in wardrobe and washing machine, along with a very large bedroom/living/dining area (25m²). there is enough sleeping space here for extra children; using the sofas, cot or small foam mattress than can be provided free of charge.
