Bedrooms at The Bolt-Hole
The Bolt Hole has two double bedrooms. The spacious main bedroom suite is on a mezzanine level with skylights giving fresh air, natural light and views through the trees to the mountains beyond. This large open-plan space contains a King-size bed, plenty of storage space in the form of both cupboards and drawers, an antique claw-foot bath and a vanity set under one of the skylights. The bed is made up with crisp white cotton percale linen, offset by vibrant Kenyan kikoi cushions and throw. A chaise longue, with more Kikoi cushions, adds a finishing touch to this bedroom. Another skylight in the bamboo clad eaves lets in more natural light. A ceiling fan and air-conditioning unit are there for your comfort on the hot summer nights. On colder nights, the cottage’s open-plan design allows the sitting room’s wood-burning stove to warm the entire space.
The second bedroom is found on the ground floor, with double doors giving access to the private garden. With a queen-size bed and its exposed copper pipe, safari-style shower and vanity, this cosy room also has air conditioning and a fan. This bedroom is separated from the living area by a writing nook with a desk and cushioned window-seat, doodle pad and pencil crayons.
