a beautiful old building full of antiques and antique fittings. we stayed in the Amelia room which has a beautiful claw bathtub. Thomas is an excellent host. Breakfast is included in the room rate. The accommodation is across the road from the river. A truly lovely experience

We really enjoyed hearing the history of the house and its ancestors. The host spent alot of time walking around the property with us, explaining the history. It was located right next to a small bay where it was a pleasure to watch the sun over the water. The room was very comfortable.
