Where history meets hospitality

Cross the threshold under a metre-thick thatch into the beamed entrance hall, with its large brick inglenook fireplace and antique table adorned with fresh flowers.

"The most comfortable bed I have ever slept in"

The sitting room has generous sofas around a wood-burning stove. The kitchen has an Aga and views onto gardens where deer wander and wild ducks visit the pond.

A few acres of woodland with flowering cherry trees, carpets of snowdrops, and a bluebell wood. Liz has lovingly tended this place since 1985.
