The accommodation


A farmhouse and a cottage, side by side.


Comfortable, characterful and thoughtfully decorated throughout — with room for everyone and a few quiet corners when you need them.

The Farmhouse


Built in 1702, the farmhouse is a handsome early 18th-century country house with real presence — thick stone walls, deep window sills, and the kind of solid, generous proportions they simply don't build anymore. Carefully modernised over the years, it keeps all the warmth and character of the original house while feeling comfortable and welcoming to stay in.

  • What's Included?
    • Six beautiful bedrooms thoughtfully decorated for a warm, homely feel — a mix of singles and Super King beds 

    • A large, well-equipped kitchen — the heart of the house, with all necessary household amenities. Seats 6 so ideal for your morning coffees. 

    • A cosy living room with a wood-burning stove for chilly evenings and long chats.

    • A light-filled conservatory overlooking the gardens — perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

The stables cottage


The Stable Cottage offers charm and can host up to 12 guests with three inviting bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a lovely courtyard patio.

  • What's Included?
    • Three comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom — a charming retreat for smaller groups or anyone after a little extra privacy.
    • Its own fully equipped kitchen, so meals and snacks are easy whenever the mood strikes.
    • Rustic, warm and inviting — a snug spot to relax and unwind after a day of celebrations.
    • Just steps from the farmhouse, so you're always close to the action.
