a ground floor ensuite apartment-the Cider House - suitable for guests with limited

Arrival & Car Parking Facilities
We have gravelled parking spaces for up to 8 cars. We are glad to
escort you from the parking area to the house with umbrellas in rainy
weather, help with your luggage and escort you to your room. We have our
own pets and so cannot accommodate guests' pets.

The ground floor is accessed through the main front door directly from
the gravelled area around the house. This leads to the Hallway,
Sitting and Dining rooms as well as the downstairs WC,
and the Cider House (via a narrow doorway). These are all on one Ground
Floor level.

All these ground floor rooms are on one level with oak , flagstone
or carpet flooring with a maximum

are welcome to use our landline (please ask first). We also offer free
Wi-Fi access for your laptop, pda etc in some rooms.

We have three bedrooms, two of which are up a steep flight of 11 stairs.
You will find photos of all our rooms elsewhere on this site.
The Barn Bedroom is up a further three steps from the landing, and has an ensuite shower all on one level with carpeted and tiled floor areas. The Sea Room is also up three steps from the landing and enjoys a separate private bathroom (the Red Bathroom)
back down three steps and across the landing. The floors are carpet, wood planking and rugs. The Red Bathroom has a slipper bath.
