Guests will have exclusive use of a traditional sitting rooms with a large open log fire, and a dining room with a well equipped kitchen fir guest use, downstair loo and a seperate entrance.
Upstairs the charm continues in 3 generous ensuite bedrooms with 1 twin room, 1 double room, and 1 super king. All rooms look out over the farmland and moorland.
Breakfast is an extensive continental with a few cooked options daily. Specialist meals please specify before arrival.
James and Rachael live in the lodge with our two children Rufus and Edie. We have two very friendly dogs Nelly and Margo, who you may meet outside but do not come into the guests areas and our chickens who live in the garden. We all very much enjoy the outdoors and spend a lot of our time outside!
We will be on hand all the time during your stay and will be more than happy to help with local knowledge and putting you in the right direction for the the local attractions!
