Please let us know about your pet by ticking the pet box, as we do charge a small fee per stay, and your pet must feel at ease around our livestock.

The master bedroom is separated from the kitchen/living area by a charming barn door. Our ensuite boasts a high-pressure shower and a heated towel rail for cooler months.
