    Hi, thank you for your enquiry. Both rooms have showers but they are over the bath, so your wife would have to step into the bath to have a shower. Unfortunately neither rooms have a separate shower.

    Hi Mark We took over the Old Chapel Forge in March and as breakfast baskets in the rooms were working very well we decided that we would continue with them. There are several restaurants around that do cooked breakfasts that I could recommend. Maggie
