Bedrooms

Our bedrooms exude peace and tranquillity, they  enjoy lovely countryside views and have en-suite bathrooms in which we provide: large fluffy towels, flannels and dressing gowns, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and bubble bath. In each room guests will find tea/coffee trays and biscuits, still and carbonated water, a clock radio with docking station,  a blow heater, a torch, a hot water bottle, a charging plug for laptops, a notepad, and electric blankets.  We use deeply comforting goose feather duvets and pillows, though we can provide sheets and blankets and alternative pillows if required, and our exquisite linen is crisply laundered and a joy to sleep in. Bedrooms in use are serviced daily.
