The main building is a handsome, honey-stone farmhouse with modern, light-filled additions. Around it are outbuildings transformed into elegant accommodation. The hotel appeals to everyone - from couples to families, and even wedding parties.

Staff are exceptional - gently welcoming and going the extra mile to organise a special meal, a bunch of anniversary flowers, and more. Dogs may stay in three bedrooms, each with outdoor space.
