We have maps and reference books for you to use whilst staying with us and there’s a great selection of herbal, fruit and standard teas and coffee. • Unfortunately due to the age of the building, there is no wheelchair access to our house with front door steps to the entrance and stairs to the bedrooms which are all located on 1st floor.
