LOCATION
Long cottage is a
traditional long house which were extremely common in the middle
ages allowing the owners to live at one end of the property and
sheltered animals at the other. As times have evolved through
history buildings such as Long cottage have been adapted to suit

into the middle age with a contemporary twist.
