Bedtime...

Bedrooms
Three individual suites.

Special features
Each of the three bedrooms – Red, Yellow or Blue – is imaginatively designed and super-comfy. All have pretty garden and woodland views.  Beds are dressed in Egyptian cotton bedlinen, while bathrooms come with oversize bath towels and continental bath and shower gels. You'll also find fresh flowers, wi-fi and a flatscreen TV.

Pillow Talk
We loved the contemporary four-poster bed and supreme comforts of the Red Room, with its Turkish rugs, luxurious country house fabrics and piles of plush pillows. The equally attractive Blue Room has a kingsize teak bed, while the Yellow room is twin bedded.

Eat & Drink

Dining in
Look forward to delicious, home-produced farmhouse fare for breakfast that's sure to set you up for the day. There's free range bacon, sausages and eggs from the farm, home made muesli and marmalade, and honey from the hives. Afternoon tea with home made cakes and biscuits will hit the spot should you feel peckish later.

Breakfast
Breakfast is served until 09:30.
