The Cottage and The Lodge are set in their own hamlet down a long lane and away from the main road, Quelv�hin is a collection of old stone farm buildings comprising of the owner's farmhouse and the two cottages, nestling in over five hectares of pasture and woodland with a labyrinth of pathways right outside your door. It�s ideal for nature lovers, with deer, red squirrels, woodpeckers, rabbits and buzzards all regular visitors to the garden.
