Flying over Elderflower you will likely spot some Red Kites or Buzzards. Sleeping two guests, Elderflower makes the perfect romantic getaway for couples or weekend away with a friend.

A fold down dining table sets the perfect scene for a romantic meal.

Across from the kitchen you’ll find a sumptuous double bed adorned with a fluffy duvet, plump pillows and a recycled wool tartan throw. Elderflower has its own bathroom with a toilet, basin and shower. Towels and basic toiletries provided.
