It has all its accommodation at ground floor level (National Accessibility Scheme Mobility Level 1) and offers level access for disabled visitors from the parking area immediately behind the cottage. Inside it has attractive, spacious double height rooms with exposed timberwork, oak planked doors, stone flagged floors and is furnished and equipped to the same very high standards as Holt Farm House and Stable. Like them it has been graded 4 stars by Visit Britain.
Level access into large sitting room. Archway to oak fitted kitchen with dining table. 2 bedrooms - 1 double and 1 twin with door out onto a private deck. Shower room/w.c (wheelchair accessible).
As well as having access to the communal courtyard shared with the other cottages, The Wain House has its own attractively landscaped garden area at the rear, comprising a paved area with barbecue, raised flower beds, a small deck and a pathway leading to a large lawned area sloping up to a field at the top from where there are far reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
