Above all when you come to stay, we want you to relax and feel at home so as well as the lovely bedrooms, there is a welcoming lounge for you to use with a fire to warm you in the cooler months.

Here you will find all you need to make yourselves comfortable - glasses and a corkscrew to you can enjoy a drink, many leaflets and suggestions as to how to fill the next day, including one detailing all Collectors and Antiques Fairs, Brocantes and Flea Markets.

We have a selection of games such as Pictionery and Articulate as well as a bookcase full of paperbacks on the second floor.
