The bedrooms
Arranged in a unique horse-shoe formation, the beautifully appointed bedrooms, each bright and airy are fitted out to make your stay supremely comfortable. Fine white linens and soft plump pillows ensure an excellent night’s sleep after a hard day’s cooking, eating and drinking.
The house

From the huge reclaimed oak front doors and vaulted ceilings with comfortable sofas arranged in front of an open fire to the spacious, wonderfully equipped kitchen complete with refectory table fit for a banquet, the house is instantly welcoming but large enough to distance yourself from the action.
