What you should know…
- While one of the bedrooms is situated on the ground floor, due to the fact that this is a 13th century home it is not ideal for those who struggle with stairs or need wheelchair access
This home is a part of our Great Value and Heritage Collection!
This is a historic home, and as such:
- It has probably been standing for over 100 years, which means it's full of historic value and charm but it may also have one or two quirks!
- Some of the decor and furnishings may not be brand new, but that should not detract from your holiday experience in this unique setting that allows you to take a step back in time!
