Boasting delightful views over the village, the charming dining room is the perfect spot to enjoy your local treats or plan tomorrow’s adventure around the traditional farmhouse-style dining table.

The lounge is a picture of cosy serenity, complete with a roaring wood burner set within an exposed brick fireplace, original beams, a Smart TV, and a soft sofa.
