PLEASE NOTE THIS PROPERTY IS NOT AVAILABLE TO STAG AND HEN GROUPS. GARDEN NOT AVAILABLE AFTER 10PM ACCEPT BY PRÈ ARRANGEMENT. All rooms are contained in this large private house which is shared by the owner. Once an old Inn but now converted to a splendid large home with many old features and also tasteful modern additions. Private stairway leads to the lovely double bedroom also a landing with dressing table and workspace and a very modern bathroom with walk in shower. Views of lawns and open countryside. Family room is situated on the ground floor with no stairs. It has a shared bathroom with the owner. Plenty of private free parking available.
My aim is to offer an experience that you will want to repeat.
