    Staff members were helpful, polite and friendly. The accommodation was an experience. Had to walk through a herb garden to the quarters. Really nice. The location was great; peaceful with bird song. Well proportioned with everything you could...

  • Hi We have 2 small dachshunds. Which rooms are best to book and are they allowed in the common hotel areas / restaurant or just the rooms.

    Hi! The best rooms for two dogs are Farmhouse Loft, Barn Suite, Stable Room/Suite and the Hideaway. We can fit small dogs in the Potting Shed or Shepherd's Hut but two might be more of a squeeze! They are more than welcome in the restaurant :)

    Hello, All rooms except The Burrows, The Rabbit Hole and The Potting Shed. Best wishes, Camilla
