    The host offers the option of a purchased, home cooked and gourmet dinner. I highly suggest you partake, her cooking was divine and the dining room in the home was a lovely space in which to spend an evening.

Property info

The Lodge is a Heritage 1912 building: Edwardian elegance, formal dining, lots of silver with open fires. The self-catering houses are more relaxed and contemporary, non-hosted and independent. There are full cooking facilities. The Holiday Cottage (Mulberry Cottage) has the same facilities as the self-catering houses but is small,and very cute. Wifi in this little one may be patchy at times. Accommodation in the Lodge and self-catering is mutually exclusive however guests staying in the self-catering houses or cottage can dine at the lodge with prior reservation.
