Extra Information:
We regret that we cannot accept pets as pheasants rule the roost in our garden.
We are keen to encourage green tourism and are working towards certification for that. We would be happy to arrange local bicycle hire for you.
The owners would be delighted to provide you with a welcome pack of local produce to order.
