The sofas in the living room are a comfortable place from which to admire the views, or you can retreat into the separate TV lounge to indulge in the choice of international channels and the range of BluRay DVDs offered on the flat-screen TV.

Plug into the living room Sonos system to fill the air with inspirational music whilst you impress the others with your mountain cooking skills in the well-equipped kitchen.

In summer, the un-overlooked garden is a pleasure with its large, flat lawn area and small rockery, and you can be safely secluded behind the surrounding hedges.
