The Lodge is a small thatched cottage in a beautiful rural location in Freshwater. Walks out the door. Open plan style, with light-filled master bedroom on the first floor. Views over the downs and estuary plus an ensuite bathroom. Small open-plan thatched cottage best suited to a couple. Downstairs are two double sofa beds that can be made up to accommodate children or guests, so technically can sleep up to four additional people. The kitchen has two hobs and a microwave-oven combo, but not a full size oven. To note: 1) Dogs are very welcome! 2) The master bedroom and only bathroom are accessed up a relatively steep and narrow staircase. The cottage is therefore not suitable for those with mobility issues. 3) There is no wifi available, however, there is mobile signal available (which is typically faster than the BT internet in the area anyway).
