About the Rooms

The guest bedroom is cosy and comfortable, boasting a spacious king-sized bed and picturesque views of the north gardens. Tea and Coffee making facilities are available within the room. Directly opposite is the guest bathroom, playing host to a large roll-top bath complete with bathing salts, a double shower room and traditional style decor. Guests have the sole use of a large sitting and dining room with views over the South lawns and garden. This is where breakfast can be enjoyed in the mornings and guests can relax. In warm weather, guests may choose to have breakfast in the garden, or spend a day sitting outside.
