This 16th-century house is as all homes should be: loved and lived-in. And, with three-foot-thick walls, Persian rugs on flagstoned floors, sit-in fireplaces and stone-mullioned windows, it’s gorgeous. The garden, enclosed by old stone walls, is full of birdsong and roses. One bedroom has a secret door leading to a duck-egg blue bathroom; the other room, smaller, has a Tudor stone fireplace and wonderful garden views. Unbend in the book-filled sitting room, breakfast by a vast fireplace: homemade bread, award-winning marmalade and eggs from the hens. Karin is vivacious and looks after you beautifully. A charming, down-to-earth place.
We stayed for three nights in this lovely old house, which is warm and full of colour. Karin and James are both welcoming hosts. They are friendly, interested and good humoured and have a wealth of local knowledge. Our room and ensuite were extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. Karin cooked a delicious supper for us one evening and each day we enjoyed a cooked breakfast and afternoon tea and cake in front of the log fire - a real treat!
