What our guests say about us
The
south facing cottages situated next to the rambling old Georgian farmhouse,
have recently been sensitively converted from a range of traditional pink
stone barns and adjoin a courtyard which is a summer haven for swallows.
The interiors are full of rural charm and rustic character, having old timbers, exposed stonework, natural slate shelves, traditional lime plaster finishes, open staircases and feature wooden floors with rugs on the ground floor.
All cottages are comfortably, tastefully, distinctively decorated. The cottages are furnished, centrally heated and equipped to a very high standard.
For bookings of more than one cottage we can provide additional dining tables and chairs in The Linhay to accommodate up to 12 people (this requires moving the settees down to the end of the room )
