The Large rooms in the Brick Barn have enormous beds and separate bathrooms and are perfect for families sharing.
Activities
To do, or not to do that is the question! Anyone for tennis? If so you can enjoy a game on the court in the walled garden. Garden lovers will enjoy the 6 acres of herbaceous borders, wild meadows and kitchen garden. Choose from a list of pampering treatments or charter a boat and take a trip down the river stopping off for a picnic on the way.
Dining
Warren Geraghty is in charge of the kitchen and he always favours locally grown, seasonal produce served up with a splashing of generosity of spirit in both flavour and portions. Those with a good appetite won't go hungry!
