The Living Room

The living room is cosy and relaxing, with comfortable seating for four people. There are doors off to the ‘Blue Room’ (the kingsize/Twin bedroom) and to a lobby which leads to the bathroom, the Courtyard garden, and the kitchen – and from there on to the dining room.

The flat-screen Smart-TV is connected to the internet and so has additional (Freeview) channels plus Catch-Up TV such as BBC i-Player, and Radio Stations. It also plays DVD movies and music CDs. Flint Cottage also has FREE Wi-Fi (wireless broadband internet access), and is equipped with a selection of books, maps, guides, and board/card games for guests to use. A feature of the living room is the log-burner – which is perfect for cosy, real log-fires and makes ‘Flint Cottage’ just as popular in winter as in summer. This room has been renovated and redecorated too. Plus we’ve added a USB charging socket by the sofa.

The beautiful, hand-made pine dresser is a real feature, and houses a collection of period kitchen memorabilia.

The Courtyard Garden

The pretty courtyard garden is accessed via the lobby next to the kitchen, and is solely for use by guests staying at ‘Flint Cottage’. There is a table and four comfortable chairs, plus a large parasol – for very warm weather. Seat-pads for the chairs are also provided should you need them (stored in the kitchen). Patio-pots filled with flowering plants make the courtyard particularly colourful in the spring/summer. All in all, perfect for al fresco lunches, drinks on a summers evening, or lazy mornings with coffee and the newspapers.

The Courtyard is very sheltered and a little sun-trap, so it is often warm enough to sit out during the early spring and late autumn too.

It also provides a very pleasant view from the dining room during breakfast, making it a very peaceful and relaxing way to start the day.

​

Flint Cottage has full gas central-heating, with thermostatic-controlled radiators in each room and a Room Thermostat in the Sitting Room.
