The house has been restored to retain as many features of the original property as possible. The en suite bedrooms in the former hayloft barn are comfortably furnished and have open beamed ceilings. There are other bedrooms with access to separate bath and shower rooms which are available to any guest. And all rooms have a colour television, a hair dryer and hot drink making facilities. Pets are not allowed in the rooms. On the ground floor is the dining room, off which is the ‘quiet’ lounge where you can curl up in front of the fire with a good book. If you prefer you can unwind in the peace and quiet of the delightful conservatory where you can rest, watch the birds, take in the views, have a drink and see the sun go down from the comfort of an easy chair. We have received a RAC Dining Award for our evening meals. VB/AA/RAC 4 Diamond Silver Award. RAC Sparkling Diamond/RAC Dining Award/RAC Warm Welcome Award.
