Bracken Cottage, The entry hall lobby

Page: Interior Page 1 of 7 Lobby Kitchen Parlour Bedroom Bathroom Studio Barn [Prev] [Next] [Home]

Stepping into the lobby through the re-created, traditional half door, the most noticeable things about the cosy cottage are the inspirational use of colour

Attention to details and the calming and welcoming atmosphere.

There are original double doors at the entry to the kitchen with a sliding security bar (known in periods of unrest in the 18th and 19th c as a Raparee bar. Raparees were mountainy bandits and householders needed to barracade themselves in at such times!)

Lobby, There are handmade wooden coat and hat hooks on the walls

A tiled countertop above a curtained utility area for a washing machine/dryer and boot storage.

View from the lobby window, cattle come to check on us every day
