Staying Cosy
The cottage has blissful underfloor heating throughout as well as a wood burning stove for cosy nights in. The fire will be set ready for you and a large basket of logs and kindling is provided.

Outside Spaces
You have a private patio for outside dining and watching the sunset. Just a minute away up the grassy path behind the cottage are Picnic Meadow and Garden Meadow (both shared with Red Kite Cottage). They are beautiful spaces for relaxing and watching the birds and wildlife and each has a picnic table. There is also a bench in Valley View Meadow in front of the cottages. This is a great place to take in the views over the valley and our friendly sheep and chickens may come to the fence to say hello.

Misty Heights Bird Hide
Also on site, just a minutes' walk from the cottage is our luxury birdwatching cabin - Misty Heights. We built it from scratch to be a peaceful, cosy space for watching and photographing the woodland birds that live around the cottages. It features underfloor heating, high speed WiFi, electric sockets & charging points, comfortable chairs and tea & coffee facilities. We get woodpeckers, nuthatches, goldfinches, chaffinches, coal tits, bullfinches, long-tailed tits and treecreepers as well as the more common garden birds. It is available for guests to hire for exclusive private use for a few hours or for a whole day. If you are into bird photography, Leigh can also give you tips to help you get the best pictures and he also offers workshops.

Parking
You have your own dedicated parking space at the front of Coedmor Cottages. We also have an EV charger available to use (charged at normal domestic rates).
